Like I'm always saying, Kishimoto can't write women because he doesn't respect them, and therefore he can't write romantic relationships on purpose, so accidental homoerotic tension between the few characters complete enough to have chemistry is the only interpersonal dynamic left.

.. before such expectations were laid on us (the nongendered childhood), but I might have more complex feelings on it, because it was the main period in my life without the wrong category enforced on me.

For example, take the phrase "man up" said by a father. You might reject it because of the implication of manliness being reduced to strength and stoicism, where I would reject it because to put me in the category of "man" is wrong on its face. We can both look back with nostalgia on the time..

I think everyone can and does have issues with the specifics of the gender expectations placed upon them, most parents have at some point exposed a flaw in their own idea of gender to their children, but for trans people it's categorical as well as specific.

As the child gets older, enforcement of assigned gender ramps up. I suspect for cis people this is less noticeable because the enforcement is similar to one's desires. But for trans kids, even unknowing, there's suddenly a lot of friction in the wrong category suddenly applying.

On the topic of the nongendered child, there's definitely a lot in there, I'll do my best to describe my perspective on it.
Under a certain age, the genderless category of child is more important to adults than the gendered subsets of boy and girl. This leaves gender only lightly enforced.

I think one of the healthier ways that trans people deal with being closeted/repressed/unknowing is by seeking out depictions of the type of relationship we wish we were in

One of the things about Alyson's writing is that her experience with transition is hidden all throughout it, and I believe she's mentioned somewhere that this sort of diet manipulation was encouraged if one was transitioning via the NHS when she was coming up
