I posted this on the old Reddit GC, which is sadly erased, but when American TRAs tried trans-ing Mulan, many Chinese women were not happy at all and were commenting “Our Hua Mulan has been a woman from beginning to end” and that Americans are confused and insulting Mulan to imply that she would somehow have to be a man to be a warrior.

So much of trans ideology in it's current form is offensive because of this shit. Apparently if you aren't feminine enough, you're actually a man.

Calling mulan a man is so offensive. I thought cultural appropriation is supposed to be a bad thing? Then why the hell are these people taking a Chinese story and twisting it however they want??

Milan was one of the first movies I ever saw in theaters, and it's left such an impression on me, don't want anyone to change a single thing about it.
