im telling you it's transfem wish fulfillment
i really like how this girl is being helped at every step. like her sister comments on how she's brave enough to go out alone now, but she's too scared to finally step into the grocery store, so the show just summons another character who helps her grocery shopping. what if the world was nice to girls
every episode is about demystifying another aspect of girlhood that's also framed as like, recovering from depression. You get over wearing panties and skirts which feel insurmountable at first and now hair care and styling are an adventure. you get over wearing your hair in pigtails casually and now getting the courage to cook is an adventure. you get used to doing some chores around the house and your sister notices how much happier you seem and how much more time you spend together like you used to. you get used to being a girl at home and now being a girl outside with safe people is an adventure. you're not quite ready to be all on your own outside but you meet a friend and now girl friendships are an adventure.
there's an implication that our main character and her little sister used to be a lot closer when they were younger but "for some reason" the older "brother" became a shut in as she grew up. her becoming a girl being a cure for self-sabotaging depression is just like, a real effect of taking estrogen the transfem reading writes itself
