“genderbent” (in quotes because Alex is having some Gender Feelings) cosplay is actually pretty common but it’s not like Alex
knows that. She’s never been to Anime Expo or any of the other conventions.
I figured they’d be oblivious enough to have a whole conversation about lesbians without Alex realizing most of these things are not really straight thoughts to have about your friend (unless you yourself are not cis). Though there’s also shades of butch in here too. Basically, it’s the 90s, they’re clueless about lgbtq+.
I have no clue if Alex realizes the badge line is a misquote or not.
