Remember that time soldiers crossdressed for justice in a Disney movie and nobody gave a shit? Yeah. Look at that sass. Soldier sass.

CROSSDRESSED FOR JUSTICE

Crossdressing never looked so badass and patriotic.

CROSSDRESSING FOR GREAT JUSTICE

I don’t think people realize just how revolutionary Mulan was. This was made in 1998, and sure, queer rights had gone forward, but there was still a lot of work to be done. Gay marriage was illegal in most states in America, and transexualism and crossdressing was barely even discussed. And what does motherfucking Disney do? THEY DRESS UP THESE BUTCH, ALL-MAN SOLDIERS AS WOMEN RIGHT WHEN THEY’RE ABOUT TO GO KICK ASS. AND THEY DO IT WHILE PLAYING A SONG ABOUT BEING A MAN. 

Seriously, the choice of song makes it even cooler. They’re playing “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” while we watch crossdressing soldiers. Meaning that this doesn’t make them any less of men. They’re still men, and still cool as hell. And this while Mulan has also shown througout the movie that women are also fucking badass, and hell, she beats the Big Boss Hun with a fucking fan.

This movie came along to show that gender identity was not only totally up to you, not only that stereotypes suck, but also that gender identity does not determine awesomeness.
