    The Associated Press Retweeted The Associated Press

    After setting off a social media firestorm in announcing that it removed the gender from its Mr. Potato Head brand, Hasbro has clarified that the Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head characters will still exist. The branding on the box will say “Potato Head.” http://apne.ws/ZsGuwK0 https://twitter.com/AP/status/1364991338840743941 …

    The Associated Press added,

    The Associated PressVerified account @AP
    Mr. Potato Head is no longer a mister. Hasbro, the company that makes the potato-shaped plastic toy, is giving the spud a gender neutral new name: Potato Head. The change will appear on boxes this year. http://apne.ws/ZsGuwK0

        Because transphobes are incredibly delicate and any perceived disregard of the gender binary enrages them
