Yeah, considering it wasn’t until John Money et al in the late sixties and early seventies, that “gender identity” was talked about in academic journals, it is hard to see how a children’s TV presenter could have predicted anything, let alone been warning the world when up until that point the few transwomen were middle-aged men and transmen weren’t a thing.

I suspect that because Mr Rogers made so many episodes of his show and was interviewed on TV so often that you could find all sorts of things he is appearing to advocate or warn about simply because he said an awful lot and clipping an out of context sentence or two is easy if you have the time to go looking for things.
