   There's not a doubt in my mind that if Mr. Rogers had known about trans kids, he would have invited them onto his show, shown them love, and taught a lesson to all of his viewers about pronouns.

     @JessTheUnstill I knew his wife Joanne.

     This is absolutely true. Fred and Joanne both would have found a way to send a message of love and acceptance to the trans community and a message to the rest of us about accepting each person for the unique individual they represent in this world. He also would have given us encouragement to allow ourselves to be our authentic selves as we see it from inside our own heart.

     @helianthropy @JessTheUnstill They've done that before. They used to routinely kick Mr. Rogers for teaching kids they're special just the way they are.

     @JessTheUnstill I didn’t realize I needed Mr. Rogers in this moment. ?

     Of course, I could see a segment about him showing up on conservative news: “Mister Rogers moved to a ‘Woke’ Neighborhood‽”
