MULAN ISN'T TRANS, god damn.

She was my idol exactly because she was a girl! In those times, finding a female protagonist who could kick ass and was not a damsel in distress was pretty rare. Even Ariel and Belle couldn't compete.

Exactly. I loved Mulan because I could finally see that the things most people said to me when I was a kid "girls don't do this, this is a boy thing. Girls don't play with that, boys do. As a girl you shouldn't do that, only boys can do" were bullshit, because girls could and were just as capable as boys doing those things, period.
