    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.

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