everyone always cites Twelfth Night as peak Shakespearean Gender Fuckery but I dare anyone to look Rosalind from As You Like It in the eye and not acknowledge her as the most gender-fucking lead in Shakespeare’s entire bibliography.
Celia: “we must flee in disguise, so I shall be a demure country maid!”
Rosalind: “that sounds super rad, imma be a twink and name myself after the twinkiest twink that ever twinked!”
Rosalind: “And then I’m gonna meet up with the guy I think is cute and help him practice flirting by pretending to be a twink pretending to be a girl (Aka me) and I’m going to be so incredibly normal about this.”
