Yeah, that was the thing. I have seen a couple trans friends point out instances of "oh ho ho saying this woman is really a man or putting a man in a dress, ha ha, truly comic genius", and it kind of seems like the "running gag" of James in coded female clothing (and we won't even get into the bikini contest) might have been intended that way, at least at the start...

But now it's just one of the odd quirks about them, not the slightest bit shocking or even unexpected, and they're clearly enjoying it rather than being embarrassed. And I mean, there was the time James disguised himself as Jessie for NON-comic reasons, so I (also coming to realize that I am not as gender-binary as I assumed for the first few decades of my life because I didn't have any explanation of it) am at this point taking it as the two of them having fun and not giving a crap about gender roles, whether or not it was originally intended for laughs.

I always perceived it as James being kinda genderfluid or at least enjoying femme presentation, because although it was sometimes played for laughs, it didn't feel shameful to me. He was just out there rocking it next to his best gal pal. Honestly I think a lot of my appreciation for gender fuckery came from Team Rocket.
