as a somewhat older millennial - of an age to have been a baby feminist before I’d ever heard of trans people - I feel like I really can’t emphasise enough what a rhetorical own goal it is to make it halfway plausible for somebody to claim “the transes are trying to take Mulan from you.”
#i mean this itself is kinda downstream of the what-i’m-gonna-call-curative-SJ tendency to draw all these hard and fast lines everywhere#and be obsessed with how people consume and identify with fiction/celebrities#so a character or historical personage must be viewed as EITHER a GNC woman OR a trans man and validly identified with on that basis#rather than being allowed to exist in a state of ambiguity and appreciated by different people for different reasons#the subtext here is we all grew up singing Reflection at our bedroom mirrors
