Re: Can We Talk About Mulan For A Second?
I don't know about Disney's intentions and don't think it is particularly purposeful myself, but I do know that song is appreciated by some trans people.DharmaHelper wrote:I mean the Disney Movie, if that wasn't clear from my opening post, sorry.

I think it's about gender stereotyping. In some ways, if it is about a transgender woman, I think that would undermine the message about gender stereotyping significantly.
I dunno, I just thought about it since a lot of people give Disney shit for no queer/LGBTQ+ representation within their stuff, and it's like...Mulan in retrospect seems pretty LGBTQ+ to me.
