Hasbro No Longer Uses [Mr.] Potato Head!

GOOGLE'S BLOGGER IS TRASH!

WHITE PRIVILEGE IS REAL!

YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!

American toy company officially will drop the name Mr. Potato Head. 

You might be confused on how I'm addressing it! But on packaging they're no longer using the words Mr. or Mrs. in the branding. Effective immediately, the next line of Potato Head toys will no longer have the label.

The toy will be still available for purchase it just won't carry the formal title of Mr. and Mrs. anymore.

The decision was issued on Thursday. They wanted to drop the "Mr." from the brand's name in order to be more inclusive and so all could feel "welcome in the Potato Head world." It also said it would sell a new playset this fall without the Mr. and Mrs. designations that will let kids create their own type of potato families, including two moms or two dads.

The far-right was outraged over this. They believe that Hasbro was caving to pressure from progressive groups and pushing an agenda.

The House quickly passed the Equality Act which bans discrimination against Americans based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. One of the main sponsors, Rep. Marie Newman (D-IL) has a transgender daughter and she felt this is going to be a historic moment for her and those who identify as transgender.

It riled up Republicans.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and her fellow members of the white nationalist "Freedom Caucus" rejected it and said that biologically born children should not be invading the "girl's restroom" or playing "girl sports."

They probably would love to see transgender women in the male prison when they commit crimes too.....!

Many people who identify as transgender will face discrimination in the workplace and home buying. 

Transwomen are likely to be victims of sexual abuse. Many who identify as transgender face brutal treatment which leads to suicide.

Transgender rights are human rights. Your transgender son or transgender daughter deserve the right to have education, housing, an opportunity to change the world and a place at the table. The country can't be saying "We the People..." when we ain't including people.

I am a proud supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. I have family and friends who identify as gay and transgender. 

I am supportive of them 100%.

PROTECT BLACK WOMEN is not just for our Black women.... it includes Black transwomen.
