Yeah, it never occurred to me that military school is meant as a punishment for delinquents or maybe kids with military aspirations, and it's weird that a nice girl who likes art would be enrolled in such an oppressive environment for no reason. Like...public school is free.
I've always hated this movie as a kid because I felt like her parents were really selfish for making her go there. There is nothing wrong with military school but she didn't belong there.
And does the movie ever even make it clear why she has to attend that school just because her stepdad is the principal there? If anything, that sort of seems like a conflict of interest... Realistically I'm sure she would have had a number of schools she could have attended, even if there wasn't another one that specialized in the arts. Nick never used the term ge likes 'forced conflict', but feels like that definitely applies here, lol...

i’m a lesbian and when i was 7 i wrote a comic book based on this movie but i removed all the boys and it was a skateboarding boot camp. kelly was a cheerleader and the other girl was goth and they shared a bed
The most hilarious thing about this movie is that it does not even have to exaggerate how intense JROTC kids are. They literally think they're serving in the real military. They're the ultimate boots.
@@FlowWolf7 you must be lucky because I had the same experience as the other two commenters and most people ik also had that experience. Or .... Maybe you just didn't see it because you were around jrotc kids all the time and thus only the extreme bootlickers stood out to you?
While I am sick to death of the clumsy heroine trope, props to this movie for making it a family trait and shared by a man. At least her clumsiness is a part of her and her fathers characters rather than just an excuse to be helped/touched by the men around her.
I never understood how Brad was “Stone’s guy” the whole movie he seemed like he hated her lmao he completely ignored her after Kelly saluted him, he laughed at her with everyone else when Kelly ruined her dress, he forced her to take her hat off and embarrassingly show the paint in her hair to the entire room and then laughed at her again, like 100% the worst boyfriend lmao
its probably because he saw her as one of the guys or something and just thought she was cool to hang with and she didn't know that he didn't like her that way. plus it seems like stone just wanted to pretend to like him to hide her gayness and clearly those gay eyes she was giving kelly was not helping her any.
*“If I don’t have a complicated home life, how will my ribbon dancing ever be as good as that girl at school whose little brother drowned?!”* You always manage to make me choke on something.

As a Blonde young girl with the last name Collins- I felt CALLED to the military after watching this movie. I said, oh, let me twirl that gun. Thank god Eddies Million Dollar Cookoff came out and I became obsessed with food instead.
I wonder if Hilary Duff had ribbon dancing listed as a skill on her resume because she also had the one episode of Lizzie McGuire where she was training for rhythmic gymnastics. Disney saw that and RAN with it. What a quirky, creative skill! haha
I literally almost commented this! I was like, she also does ribbon twirling in Lizzie McGuire, I wonder if that’s connected, like if she was always like, “Hey, I can do ribbon twirling,” and they’re just like, “Yes! Let’s put that in!”
I miss the awkwardness of adolescence when you could go years without ever referring to an important adult figure by name because you were too afraid to ask what it should be. So many grownups in my life were just "hey".
I watched this movie a year or two ago and I was shocked about how unfair the mom and step dad were to Kelly. She was a good child who was happy for her mom's wedding and they just tell her last minute that they're taking her out of her beloved art school and giving her no choice but to be in the military school. Her mom clearly doesn't live here so I have no idea why she couldn't of gone too a nearby public school.
Actually it was shown in the movie that Kelly's mom and step dad live in a house that's on the campus of the military school. I'm guessing kelly had to still stay in the barracks like everyone else though, or that would be unfair. But yeah since her step dad is the principal he gets to stay in a nice house on campus with Kelly's mom.
@@razminfox1787I haven’t seen this movie in foreverrrrrr but I thought the dad travelled a lot for his job and that’s why she couldn’t stay at the art school living with him. But even letting Kelly travel with her dad and taking some sort of independent study or homeschooling while they travel would’ve made more sense for her and her parents characters. Or find her a boarding school for art since she clearly enjoyed that type of school setting 🤷🏼♀️
@@asiamarie2375 I'm glad you asked. A "stone" is a term in the lesbian community for someone who likes to "give" in the bedroom but doesn't like to receive. A pillow princess is someone how likes to receive but doesn't like to give. So a "stone" and a "pillow princess" would be a good match for each other. Thanks for coming to my gay TedTalk.
“why is everyone’s life ruined because you wanted to have missionary sex with gary cole” lmfaooooooooo took me the fuck out this is my favorite channel in the world
On the topic of what she calls her mom’s bf, I literally didn’t directly address my mom’s bf for like a year because I didn’t know what to call him LMAO
My mom married a guy named Richard that went by Dick. It was so satisfying saying his name when I was pissed at him. "Sure thing DICK!" "Whatever you say DICK." "You're not my dad DICK!" 🤣
I always felt so bad for Kelly. I spent majority of my childhood feeling like my dad always picked women over me. Watching it, it always seemed like Kelly's mom is choosing her new man over Kelly and it made me feel so sad. And that they just uprooted her, its's kind of sad haha.
Her mom was so selfish. I would have appreciated if it showed the whole family adjusting to moving around a lot or something. It’s a great movie considering it’s a DCOM but I’d be interested to see how a more modern take would be.maybe no stupid male love interest
When I first learned about the f-slur, I was reminded of Christy Carlson Romano yelling "Maggot!" all the time in Cadet Kelly because they rhymed, and for years kept picturing this Disney Channel movie whenever I came across the word. Learning that there are theories that the rhyme was intentional is a trip.
When I watched this as a kid I assumed Disney had her say maggot instead simply because the other word couldn't be on national television but that the f was implied
We need a version of this movie where instead of clumsy Hilary Duff knocking over goldfish it’s Nick getting sent to military school for injuring that plant in every video
I like this idea, though ADHD in girls/women usually presents differently, though it's not totally impossible she'd have the hyperactive presentation type. She could totally have dyspraxia though.
@@anonymouscandle1223 I (a woman) have severe combined presentation ADHD, my teen daughter also has moderate combined presentation ADHD, and though she and I unmedicated have very noticeable hyperactivity and “clumsiness” you are very right.. ADHD in biologically female child/adolescent patients is almost always missed as it doesn’t typically present with the stereotypical behavioral symptoms that are identified as associated with ADHD. After I lost my psychiatrist and was struggling to find a new doctor in April 2020 thanks to COVID, as a long shot, I emailed a psychiatrist who was listed as a specialist in ADHD but showed as only accepting new clients ages 5-17. I explained everything I was going through and asked if he would make an exception, thankfully he did. He has been the first provider in almost 15 years that treats me with dignity and respect, recognized I clearly suffered from untreated Dyspraxia before I was done listing the accidents and injuries I could remember from between the ages of 4-5 years old, then after I finished the rest of my accidents and injuries and gave my general medical and surgical history, he asked if I had been tested for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. So many people and providers don’t understand that ADHD has strong correlations/connections not only to other mental health diagnoses (especially substance use, depression and anxiety), but also to other neurodivergent conditions like dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalcia, and Autism, AND research is showing ADHD may have correlation, connection or causation in many physical health issues and conditions like Ehlers Danlos, Fibromyalgia, chronic muscle spasms/tension/“knots”/otherwise unexplained muscle pain, digestive issues and neurochemical, hormonal and vitamin/mineral imbalances.
That "Can I borrow some spit? I promise to return it later" line is so creepy that I looked up the actor's age. I'm glad I'm not the only one who found this casting weird af
I remember being very... intrigued by Christy Romano's characters. Like she tends to play kinda gruff, assertive... serious... take-charge girls... A combination that in no way effects my preferences to this day! haha
Also, says something about my priorities where I remembered the Kelly and Stone dance-fight routine, but absolutely none of her dad almost dying after falling off a cliff.
As a straight guy I always liked this type of girl, not knowing that I was preparing myself for an adolescence of falling for mostly unattainable lesbians.
@@dadbodenvy4247 As a non-straight girl it prepared me for an adolescence of being unsure whether they were lesbians, or if they just watched Cadet Kelly.
The dance battle is Disney's way of saying "these characters are gay for eachother" look at Chad versus Ryan's dance-off in "I Don't Dance" from Highschool Musical 2 lol Strange Aeons did a video about ittt
This was the movie that made me realize I liked girls. When I saw the close up of those boots walking I knew at that moment I'd be a disappointment to my family. She was like one of my first crushes lol
Christy Carlson Romano was my first celebrity crush ❤ I actually would be so happy if Disney did make a sequel for the movie but have it be years later, and Kelly and Jennifer have been living their own lives but somehow due to Joe (Kelly’s stepdad) they reconnect, form an even better friendship, they have a small argument over their feelings for each other, talk things out then finally start dating.
@@tiamarrow6366have Jennifer get upset that Kelly was always pushing her out of the spotlight when she came to the school, and then Kelly can admit she was doing it for Jennifer’s attention, she just didn’t know why she wanted Jennifer’s attention so badly until now 😍
My daughter was a human beyblade from ages 5 to 14, so I can definitely relate to Kelly's mom here. Except the whole spontaneously-uprooting-and -transplanting-my-child-for -a-man thing, cause gross. Don't do that.
I remember being like 8 and watching this movie and getting "vibes" from Kelly and Jennifer that I couldn't explain. The getting up in each others' faces. The lingering looks. THE MF-ING FLAG! Like, I knew something was up but I couldn't place it. While I grew up in an accepting household, no one bothered to explain to me what being gay was. I didn't even know that people could like the same gender until a girl came out in middle school. Also, there is no heterosexual explanation for that dance scene.
Even from the very first scene... stone looks her up and down with a smirk but its not out malice or disgust... seems like she's amused and checking her out 🤣
i'm willing to bet he probably wasn't intended to be part of the movie! or that there were intentions to write him off later after he does something that makes stone upset enough to stop hanging around him. because he's hardly there, and when he is he's not nice to stone.
I think you meant it made you realize you are bisexual. Because a movie (or anything, really) can not influence you to change your sexual orientation. I believe we are born being LGBTQ, and it's something one can control or change.
My interpretation of the Kelly/Brad introduction scene is that Kelly genuinely wanted to impress Stone and forgot that heterosexuality exists. To me she’s thinking “Oh! This will show her that I listen to her!! She respects this person, so I want to show her I respect him too!” and then she goes to salute him before Stone can to prove she cares about Stone’s opinion
If the writers were intentionally writing lesbian subtext into Cadet Kelly, I wonder if having Christy Romano's character named "Stone" was an extra nod to lesbianism? It would make sense, since "stone butch" was a term used to describe butch lesbians who embrace masculinity. Might be a stretch, but I'm choosing to believe it anyway.
Actually the original meaning of the term ‘stone butch’ described lesbians who do not want to be touched by a partner in a sexual context, although the association with masculinity has been around for some time now and it’s likely the more common usage of the term in modern society.
@@Jade-fw6ni That's the only usage I've ever heard until this comment, I'm glad you explained because I was like "but a femme could be a stone top..?" Thank you for commenting!
@@Jade-fw6ni oh I totally didn't know that! My understanding of the term was that it referred to hyper-masculine butch lesbianism, but what you are saying makes total sense. I can mentally track how the original meaning of the term and the more recent interpretation of the term are connected. Thanks for adding more context ♥️
I loved Hilary Duff so much as a preteen that I cried when I found her dog had the same name as me. And I brought a jar to her concert so I could bottle the air we both breathed... It was then I realized I was bi.
Fr tho, the first time I watched this movie at a sleepover, I had to leave the room and be alone after Stone ripped up her blanket. I heard someone else come in to the room and I figured it was my friend. I started crying and said something to the effect of, "I can't believe she ripped her blanket up." Turned around and it was my friend's confused mom 🤷
I remember being a little too into Christy Carlson Romano as a kid. Lol. And now as a lesbian looking back, it all makes sense. This was even one of my favorite movies 💀😂
Yeah I’ve known I was bi literally in elementary school and Hilary Duff is one of the reasons I knew at such a young age 😂😂 I always had the biggest crush on her growing up and this movie literally gave me all the feels!
when i was like 10 and watched this i was so weirdly into the friendship between lizzie mcguire and ren stevens, i didn’t know why at the time but now.....
It’s weird to look back at being a child and remembering thinking something was gay before u had the knowledge of gayness like this movie was just gay and so was confessions of a teenage drama queen I can’t even fathom watching them w out thinking “no they’re in love????”
I saw chicago at like 8 and my favorite song was cell block tango. I didn’t figure out why I was so into catherine zeta jones and other hot girls in lingerie until I was older haha
@@TheQwerty243 absolutely Keira knightly herself said it should have been gay so therefor it’s gay to me and I refuse to acknowledge the actual movie ending like they were SO clearly lesbians straight women don’t wear bandanas 🙄
I'm a gay dude and I watched this movie all the time as a kid (We eternally Stan Hillary Duff in this household) and I never once questioned that Kelly and Stone were a couple. I completely forgot a male "love interest" even existed in this movie, which to be fair so did the script for most of it.
I can imagine the convo of Nick coming out as a lesbian. Nick: mom, dad, other family, I’m a lesbian Parent: so you identify as a woman? Nick: no, he/they is fine Family: *confused but supportive*

Stone actually refers to a lesbian with particular sexual boundaries. It is mistakenly thought to represent hypermasc lesbians, just like people think high femme means super femme but they both just refer to a stone lesbian, aka a lesbian who either only gives or only receives.
@@babbyasmr2031 I'm pretty sure the term pillow princess, is used to describe "only receives" in the gay community, those labels are also used, but theyre kinda antiquated
@@babbyasmr2031 every queer girl ik uses the term pillow princess for someone who only recieves. Like @bobby hill mentioned, some people do use stone that way but it's rather antiquated. The context under which slang is used changes it's meaning, which kinda means it's not incorrect to use it to refer to hyper masc lesbians because, as you mentioned, a TON of people use it that way nowadays.
I love that you clocked “One Girl Revolution” as a lesbian power song, because I’m pretty sure it was put out by a Contemporary Christian Music act called Superchick. Maybe the members were hiding something though. Wouldn’t be the first time!
Yeah they were doing a purity culture thing in some lyrics (I think it was a song called Barlow Girls? I am not going to look it up) but they still seemed really gay to me. I loved that kind of stuff, girl rock that could be read as pretty gay, that I could get from the christian bookstore and take on urban mission trips. I'm trans and non-binary and bi but I knew I liked girls before guys and didn't know anything about gender for a long time after that so it was all just lesbians 😝
I'm not a lesbian, but I remember being physically jealous (and confused...) finding out that Christy Carlson Romano had a boyfriend in this movie. I'm still questioning my sexuality 20 years later...
My brain literally only remembers Hilary duff in an army suit. As a kid I blindly was watching this and I don’t even remember one aspect of the plot. Why is this movie low-key so risqué
oh my god you've just explained why I always loved this movie. It's one of those things where I didn't _know_ what was going on as a kid but I could _sense_ it. Sort of like when I had all those crushes on other girls but never realized what was happening, just thought I liked them aS a ReAl GoOd FrIeNd
Even back when I was a repressed, closeted lesbian who thought she was a straight girl (who happened to be uninterested in boys), I was really into the relationship between Kelly and Christy Carlson Romano's character. I did not buy into the pairing between Kelly and Ice Man.
OK, I was fully on board with this lesbian romance from the beginning, but Stone's first name is _Jennifer?_ Gayest name in the books. I dare you to come up with a more lesbian name than Jennifer. See? You can't do it.
Yes!! Wendy Wu, Cadet Kelly, the Lizzie Mcguire movie, the Kim Possible movies, Twitches, the Halloweentown movies,etc I fully remember from my childhood. 😭
If he tackles that, I hope he eventually does You Wish and the other stuff they shot in New Zealand for a while. It's reminds me of the stuff they shot in Canada since quite a few of the actors would go on to be on Power Rangers (or in Canada's case anything Disney did in the mid 2000s like Naturally Sadie and Life with Derek).
Okay, but if Carla is being that petty about an off hand comment while Kelly is clearly terrified for her father’s safety, maybe she isn’t best friend material.
19:45 it's both. She said 'I'm going to steal your man and also you because I was supposed to take an extra credit this semester but didn't so I have the time' a.k.a. bisexuality lmao

I'm guessing kelly had to still stay in the barracks like everyone else though, or that would be unfair. But yeah since her step dad is the principal he gets to stay in a nice house on campus with Kelly's mom.
No reason single dad couldn’t have gotten full custody for school I hate the mother so much
@@razminfox1787I haven’t seen this movie in foreverrrrrr but I thought the dad travelled a lot for his job and that’s why she couldn’t stay at the art school living with him.
But even letting Kelly travel with her dad and taking some sort of independent study or homeschooling while they travel would’ve made more sense for her and her parents characters.
Or find her a boarding school for art since she clearly enjoyed that type of school setting 🤷🏼♀️
Is no one talking about how her last name is literally stone? It could only be gayer if Kelly's last name was "pillow princess."
LMAOO IK
How is Stone a gay name? Genuine question
@@asiamarie2375 "stone butch" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_butch
@@asiamarie2375 I'm glad you asked. A "stone" is a term in the lesbian community for someone who likes to "give" in the bedroom but doesn't like to receive. A pillow princess is someone how likes to receive but doesn't like to give. So a "stone" and a "pillow princess" would be a good match for each other. Thanks for coming to my gay TedTalk.

Same. 😅
I always felt so bad for Kelly. I spent majority of my childhood feeling like my dad always picked women over me. Watching it, it always seemed like Kelly's mom is choosing her new man over Kelly and it made me feel so sad. And that they just uprooted her, its's kind of sad haha.
Whew, I relate sis! Great comment.
Same
Her mom was so selfish. I would have appreciated if it showed the whole family adjusting to moving around a lot or something. It’s a great movie considering it’s a DCOM but I’d be interested to see how a more modern take would be.maybe no stupid male love interest

I feel you. I had a kinda absentee dad and half of the late 90s, early 2000s kids movies had absentee dads and made me upset.
When I first learned about the f-slur, I was reminded of Christy Carlson Romano yelling "Maggot!" all the time in Cadet Kelly because they rhymed, and for years kept picturing this Disney Channel movie whenever I came across the word. Learning that there are theories that the rhyme was intentional is a trip.
This just hit me like a bus in a way I didn't anticipate now that you mention it.
Holy crap🤯
👁👄👁
When I watched this as a kid I assumed Disney had her say maggot instead simply because the other word couldn't be on national television but that the f was implied
omg me too, i always felt like it was a slur.
We need a version of this movie where instead of clumsy Hilary Duff knocking over goldfish it’s Nick getting sent to military school for injuring that plant in every video
I think Kelly was coded to be ADHD, it's inherited which makes sense why her father is the same way. She got it from her father.
WAIT THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE
I like this idea, though ADHD in girls/women usually presents differently, though it's not totally impossible she'd have the hyperactive presentation type. She could totally have dyspraxia though.
gaydhd for sure
I feel so seen
@@anonymouscandle1223
I (a woman) have severe combined presentation ADHD, my teen daughter also has moderate combined presentation ADHD, and though she and I unmedicated have very noticeable hyperactivity and “clumsiness” you are very right..
ADHD in biologically female child/adolescent patients is almost always missed as it doesn’t typically present with the stereotypical behavioral symptoms that are identified as associated with ADHD.
After I lost my psychiatrist and was struggling to find a new doctor in April 2020 thanks to COVID, as a long shot, I emailed a psychiatrist who was listed as a specialist in ADHD but showed as only accepting new clients ages 5-17. I explained everything I was going through and asked if he would make an exception, thankfully he did.
He has been the first provider in almost 15 years that treats me with dignity and respect, recognized I clearly suffered from untreated Dyspraxia before I was done listing the accidents and injuries I could remember from between the ages of 4-5 years old, then after I finished the rest of my accidents and injuries and gave my general medical and surgical history, he asked if I had been tested for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.
So many people and providers don’t understand that ADHD has strong correlations/connections not only to other mental health diagnoses (especially substance use, depression and anxiety), but also to other neurodivergent conditions like dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalcia, and Autism, AND research is showing ADHD may have correlation, connection or causation in many physical health issues and conditions like Ehlers Danlos, Fibromyalgia, chronic muscle spasms/tension/“knots”/otherwise unexplained muscle pain, digestive issues and neurochemical, hormonal and vitamin/mineral imbalances.

I'm a big lesbian and this movie was one of my favourites as a kid. I remember being totally heartbroken when they didn't get together in the end 💔
This was the movie that made me realize I liked girls. When I saw the close up of those boots walking I knew at that moment I'd be a disappointment to my family. She was like one of my first crushes lol
Christy Carlson Romano was my first celebrity crush ❤ I actually would be so happy if Disney did make a sequel for the movie but have it be years later, and Kelly and Jennifer have been living their own lives but somehow due to Joe (Kelly’s stepdad) they reconnect, form an even better friendship, they have a small argument over their feelings for each other, talk things out then finally start dating.

I remember being like 8 and watching this movie and getting "vibes" from Kelly and Jennifer that I couldn't explain. The getting up in each others' faces. The lingering looks. THE MF-ING FLAG! Like, I knew something was up but I couldn't place it. While I grew up in an accepting household, no one bothered to explain to me what being gay was. I didn't even know that people could like the same gender until a girl came out in middle school. Also, there is no heterosexual explanation for that dance scene.
Even from the very first scene... stone looks her up and down with a smirk but its not out malice or disgust... seems like she's amused and checking her out 🤣

S a m e . I was like, wait, Shawn Ashmore was in this???
i'm willing to bet he probably wasn't intended to be part of the movie! or that there were intentions to write him off later after he does something that makes stone upset enough to stop hanging around him. because he's hardly there, and when he is he's not nice to stone.
This movie actually made me never want to join the military lol.
Same 😂
SAME. I was like "oh so this place is just the opposite of my whole deal okay I understand now"

I feel like cadet Kelly made me bi?? Specifically the other girl who isn’t Hillary Duff- she smirked and a part of my 9 year old self said “??!!!”
Christy Carlso Romano. She's the voice of Kim Possible, and she was also in Even Stevens with Shia LaBeouf. And I agree.
I think you meant it made you realize you are bisexual. Because a movie (or anything, really) can not influence you to change your sexual orientation. I believe we are born being LGBTQ, and it's something one can control or change.
I'm sure you know that tho and that's what you meant anyway but I still typed all that out lol
@@lunabearsong2043 OHH THAT'S HOW RECOGNIZED HER, FROM EVEN STEVENS
My interpretation of the Kelly/Brad introduction scene is that Kelly genuinely wanted to impress Stone and forgot that heterosexuality exists. To me she’s thinking “Oh! This will show her that I listen to her!! She respects this person, so I want to show her I respect him too!” and then she goes to salute him before Stone can to prove she cares about Stone’s opinion
If the writers were intentionally writing lesbian subtext into Cadet Kelly, I wonder if having Christy Romano's character named "Stone" was an extra nod to lesbianism? It would make sense, since "stone butch" was a term used to describe butch lesbians who embrace masculinity.
Might be a stretch, but I'm choosing to believe it anyway.
I immediately clocked this also 😅
Actually the original meaning of the term ‘stone butch’ described lesbians who do not want to be touched by a partner in a sexual context, although the association with masculinity has been around for some time now and it’s likely the more common usage of the term in modern society.
@@Jade-fw6ni That's the only usage I've ever heard until this comment, I'm glad you explained because I was like "but a femme could be a stone top..?" Thank you for commenting!
@@Jade-fw6ni I'm curious why don't they want to be touched?
@@Jade-fw6ni oh I totally didn't know that! My understanding of the term was that it referred to hyper-masculine butch lesbianism, but what you are saying makes total sense. I can mentally track how the original meaning of the term and the more recent interpretation of the term are connected. Thanks for adding more context ♥️
I loved Hilary Duff so much as a preteen that I cried when I found her dog had the same name as me. And I brought a jar to her concert so I could bottle the air we both breathed...

Fr tho, the first time I watched this movie at a sleepover, I had to leave the room and be alone after Stone ripped up her blanket. I heard someone else come in to the room and I figured it was my friend. I started crying and said something to the effect of, "I can't believe she ripped her blanket up." Turned around and it was my friend's confused mom 🤷

“Stone” also happens to be lesbian slang for a hyper-masculine girl. Coincidence?
I think not!
Stone actually refers to a lesbian with particular sexual boundaries. It is mistakenly thought to represent hypermasc lesbians, just like people think high femme means super femme but they both just refer to a stone lesbian, aka a lesbian who either only gives or only receives.
@@babbyasmr2031 I'm pretty sure the term pillow princess, is used to describe "only receives" in the gay community, those labels are also used, but theyre kinda antiquated
@@babbyasmr2031 every queer girl ik uses the term pillow princess for someone who only recieves. Like @bobby hill mentioned, some people do use stone that way but it's rather antiquated. The context under which slang is used changes it's meaning, which kinda means it's not incorrect to use it to refer to hyper masc lesbians because, as you mentioned, a TON of people use it that way nowadays.
I love that you clocked “One Girl Revolution” as a lesbian power song, because I’m pretty sure it was put out by a Contemporary Christian Music act called Superchick. Maybe the members were hiding something though. Wouldn’t be the first time!
