Right now there's a Bee writer crying because a week's worth of work is ruined yet again by reality in this honking clown show we call a country.

To be fair Mr Potato Head without anything on looks like what most gender neutral people look like.

Bald, hairless, shapeless

Finally, my transgender son can get a gender inclusive toy. She is going to love the new Potato Head (they/them) that I got for her birthday.

Did you just assume your son's transgender gender, you bigot?

Not in French, Spanish, and every other language that gives gender to objects.



Unfortunately though, in French she’s a girl.

They/Them Potato Head. Potato Head is kind of an insult, should be Potato Person of Color.

Should we rename the boy scouts and girl scouts too? Get rid of any gender in the names.

Honestly this is one of those things that literally no one asked for, except for maybe 4 people on Twitter.

So what's the point?

My son has a potato head set, can confirm their is no difference between the potatoes, only the pieces you put on the potato.

If they would have just come out and said, "We are doing this so that we can make a slightly larger box and put everything in the box for kids to use their imagination to their fullest," I would have been fine with it. But to frame it as a "needed makeover?" Yeah, screw you, Hasbro.

How do we know it wants to be called potato? What if it identifies as a carrot?

They should change the name to just Tater and add a Ron White voicebox.

Can't wait until the warning that'll pop up before any of the Toy Story movies comes on. It'll warn kids that the movie features potatoes with assumed genders and may be offensive.
