Basically you could see the ep through that lense and not be fightin the writers

Update btw on baljeets pal the ep is certainly open to that interpretation but in terms of intention it seemed to just be about sexism. She didnt look like a boy in the flashback and given how baljeet assumes her being a girl means she has to be a cliche and cant have fun its implied he thought she was a boy bc she liked sports and playing in mud. Either way the episode is kinda neat in that baljeet 1: is under the impression that his friend 'became' a girl since he moved and 5 minutes later he's seen using female pronouns and he treats her like a girl the entire episode and nothing but and 2: aside from phineas, ya know a child, making one (1) comment "she was probably a girl the whole time" nobody is ever like 'DUH idiot ppl cant change gender :))'. (In fact she herself doesnt correct him. Like he says 'since you are now a girl' to her face and she raises no objections so. Take that how you will.) the episode overall in terms of language and dialogue normalised the idea that she MIGHT have 'become' a girl even if that probably wasnt the actual intention and i think thats kinda cool. Its no trans milestone ep by any means but i appreciated that the episode didnt treat baljeet saying she used to be a boy as some massive joke it was just a mundane thing
