The lyrics of the tune contain a simple message about boys’ and girls’ bodies having inherent differences and encourage children to find beauty and acceptance in those obvious differences.

This was about body positivity and acceptance of yourself. It's the correct way to deconstruct gender. It's basically saying don't worry about the stereotype that you think a boy or girl are supposed to embody, just be yourself because it doesn't make you any less of a boy if you don't embody all of the male stereotypes.

I highly doubt the song writer or Mr Rogers had any concept of modern gender ideology. Back then it was more about right wing stereotypes from a religious lense that wanted to force people to act a certain way. It doesn't seem like an accident he says the word "fancy" in the context of society policing boys to be macho.

Now the gender ideologues are saying don't be happy, listen to the stereotypes, your body is flawed.

It's just the age old problem of people who don't meet the social "standard" whatever it is needing to be "fixed".

Man was too feminine in the past? Beat the crap out of him until he stops. Does that work? Course not but they did it anyway.

These days they just pretend to be more accepting.

Not only that, but if Mr. Rogers did have a concept of modern gender ideology, he'd almost certainly be fine with them and view them respectfully. Because it's Mr. Rogers and that's just what he'd do.

Which is why the ideologues hate it- they want people stupid and full of hate for anyone not like them.

No one is full of hate for gender non conforming kids, that's why people don't want them experimented on, disfigured or castrated.

Of course, but the people who are ideologues, like everyone who seeks power, want the masses to be poor enough to need their help but sated with enough creature comforts they will never revolt against them, stupid enough to follow them, and full of hate so that they'd gladly put their own head in a noose as long as you promise when you put someone of a group they dislike's head in the noose, you'll swing the rope a bit and make it HURT more.

Gender ideologues are no different; they want those gender non-conforming kids to truly hate people who are not.
