The person who commented under your butch daisy negativity post saying that she defied gender norms by having a male friend as a kid.... what are they even talking about

I guess I can see how only having a guy friend as a kid might be seen as defying gender norms cause… idk? Honestly I have no clue either. Something about ‘being one of the boys’? Something about tomboys? But it would be different if she and Calvin weren’t secret friends cause he was embarrassed about it. Cause then she would’ve been seen as… one of the guys.

Idk I just think they were trying to justify a harmful stereotype when the only indication that she could be gender nonconforming or any flavor of queer despite her actual vocal desire to be seen as ‘gentle’ is [checks notes] that she’s aggressive and a murderer. Cause that’s totally an indicator of THAT, amiright?
