Wait until someone tells him Thomas the Tank Engine was originally a series of books called The Railway Series written by Anglican Clergyman Reverend Wilbert Awdry. A lot of people are boycotting Harry Potter because of J.K. Rowling's remarks on transpeople but given that Reverend Wilbert Awdry was a Christian pastor during the 20th century, he probably was even more anti-LGBT than J.K. Rowling, he probably didn't take kindly to cis gay men nevermind transpeople. Also the books were based on events that happened on railways in real life so it's likely Reverend Wilbert Awdry knew more about trains than Pete Buttigieg ever will.
