Also....like...I never questioned that he was a girl until I learned this factoid as an adult. So often when they put a man in drag for comedic effect you instantly know you are looking at a man but this kid passes yo.

sometimes I do look at women - even attractive women - and see a man's face in a moment of contextual disassociation. And vice versa. And I think about how maybe men and women don't really look facially that dissimilar, there's just a lot of context that affects our perception.

I am terminally bisexual though so maybe thats part of it.

Not bisexual, still notice that

Fuck. You're right. A very interesting insight. Thank you for that. I honestly didn't appreciate how easily primed I can be.

Because drag is an exaggeration and not really trying to pass. If it's for "comedic effect" they don't want them to pass anyways, because "man dressed as woman haha funny" gets confusing for cisheteros when he actually looks good.
