#TBC. it's not that they're saying he's a woman. it's that they're using classic hayes era film language to queercode him.

Idk who needs to hear this, but the point is not that Dean likes Debra Winger, the point isn't even that Dean likes Cowboys, or wants to be kissed.

The point is that the Dean we see 95% of the time is not the real Dean, it's a projection of how he thinks he needs to act. That if you get Dean down to his most essential self, without the memories that tell him he has to repress his true nature, that he has to perform a certain view of masculinity, he would behave the way we see him in regarding Dean.

And they chose. In that episode. In a moment specifically representing Dean experiencing true freedom just once.

To female code the character & imply he wants to be kissed by a cowboy.

They were insane for this.
