she was definitely not very feminine by my standards

How so? What's not feminine about her? I'm genuinely curious.

I am so tired, I honestly don't know exactly what to say. She just never stood out as someone who was feminine to me. Obviously, she portrayed a very feminine (or should I say, woman-dependent role due to the case of the pregnancy situation) role in Juno, and along side that, was able to provide other female leads. So it's not to say she wasn't feminine at all. I guess she stood out to me as part of the GNC crowd, or really a part of the concerned about appearance crowd, until this happened.

You haven't said why you view her as part of the GNC crowd, though. Your entire comment was talking about how she actually plays fairly feminine characters.

I don't characterize anyone who works in entertainment, least of all those in who stand in front of the camera, as unconcerned about appearances. I think it comes with the job.

I guess, if I can try to word this any better (since it seems I'm not wording things right at all), I've seen a few con panels and interviews, along with a few social media posts, and that is probably how she came across as GNC to me. I might have seen just enough appearances outside of movies to have that kind of perception about how she was in terms of gender non-conformity. I believe the part of where I felt she was more GNC-learning was how she carried herself a certain way, I don't really know how else to describe it beyond her not being incredibly concerned about looks or presenting around people.

I hope this elaboration helps a little more.
