But even so, Rogers just wasn't the kind of person to give cryptic warnings to society. He was a straightforward guy and if he really wanted to warn the world about this issue then he would have done so very specifically and concisely.

Even beyond that, Mr. Rogers' whole thing was that he loved and respected people no matter who they were, and that he truly believed you were special and deserve love, respect, and acceptance just for being you and walked that walk every single day of his life. If Mr. Rogers grew up in a time with trans rights, he would have absolutely been these troons' biggest friend and supporter of their right to live the way they want to live.

He definitely would be a friend to individual trannies but I don't think he would've gone along with the politics and I don't think he would've been in favor of drugs or surgeries, especially after talking to detransitioners. Remember his message was "I love you just the way you are", i.e. you don't need to change.

And I think TRAs probably would've tried to blackmail him into taking their side and that would've stressed him out bigtime and nothing short of full compliance from him would've made them happy and that would've probably personally sent him into a dark place. I'm sad Mr. Rogers is gone but I'm so glad it happened before this gender madness.

You're projecting speculative fiction and tarnishing him intentionally or not.
Stick to facts.

Saying someone who was built around "I love you just the way you are" would love people just the way they are": Tarnishing their legacy.

Saying someone who was built around "I love you just the way you are" really was "I love YOU just the way you are, and I also hate all the people you hate. Those people can go fuck themselves": Not tarnishing their legacy.

...is this where the clown emoji goes?

Doesn't make sense.
