it's so interesting how movies like scott pilgrim and 500 days of summer do a fantastic job of showing how the male characters unfairly place expectations on these women by way of deeming them "dream girls" and yet audiences still LOVE to slam these characters (and often also women in real life) for "trying too hard to be different/quirky". like how dare they be their unique selves ! it must be for attention ! the point you made on masking was super real. i see that so much with Summer especially
Amazing video !! I was often called "quirky" or a "free spirit" before I transitioned; I was very feminine so my neurodivergent traits were passed off as me being young (infantilism) or cutesy even if I did things that were considered "rude". I genuinely identified with the "MPDG" stereotype. After I transitioned in college, those same traits are seen as weird, nonsensical, even creepy (literally just the manic part of the MPDG...) because I present as more masculine. Unmasking has been a difficult process but I feel more like myself despite that.
I'm so glad you get to live your truth. I definitely think gender plays a large role in how MPDG traits are perceived by others, so thank you for adding your perspective😊
Unmasking has resulted in the dissolution of almost every relationship in my life, but I find that the masking was generating 98% of my stress and beginning to really affect my health. I’m sad to see them leave but I can’t argue with the physical benefits of unmasking. Thank you for your videos they help me maintain my resolve to stay authentic.
Also your 🐈⬛ is so beautiful, what an elegant creature
Thanks so much. Losing relationships is hard, but I understand the desire to do what is best for your mental health over everything. Hopefully, we can all begin to find our communities where we dont have to mask.
This is an interesting idea. I'm autistic and I've always identified with the MPDG. I've watched a video about them in the past that said they can't possibly exist. I was like wow I'm even more weird because this person thinks people can't be MPDG yet I'm like that. I appreciate your video and it helped me see that the original video might have been posted by a neuro-typical person.
i read the title and agreed immediately!! such a good video and very interesting idea - im so happy to have found your channel :)) ALSO I HAVE A BLACK CAT THAT LOOKS LIKE YOURS AND I WAS LIKE OMG COULD THIS VIDEO GET ANY BETTER HEHE
