... You, er, understand that some women like to wear trousers, right? Do their own handyman tasks? Run around and get muddy? Learn fencing or martial arts? These are not unwomanly behaviours.

It's way more than just that. Ask any trans woman, they'll tell you what a shock it is to go from being perceived as male to being perceived as female in terms of how you're treated by others.

Buddy, I'm talking as someone who wears trousers, does my own handymanning, and once learned martial arts.

There is nothing about what Link wears, or the adventures the character goes on, that makes me think, 'a girl couldn't do that'.

I'm not talking about trans people. They're valid, but that's not the point. I'm talking about the range of things girls do. It's like you're blanking on a large swathe of humanity because they don't like to wear frills. (Again, people who like frills are valid.) 'Girl' isn't a ghetto. Okay?

LMAO you couldn't be missing the point harder if you tried.

It has nothing to do with how you dress or what you like to do or anything like that. Women are perceived by society differently and treated differently than men, which informs their worldview and personality and how they react to things. Societal gender roles and perceptions are a thing. How many times do little boys get told to "man up and stop crying" whereas we let little girls go ahead and cry?

A girl Link would not be the same as a boy Link. Which isn't to say that there's anything wrong with the idea of a girl Link, but to say it would be the same character as a boy Link simply isn't true.
