Why's that?

I guess because it talks about things in terms I don't understand. I can guess from the context that "gender essentialism" means something like if you're a girl, you have to act like the stereotype of a girl, and if you're a boy, you have to act like the stereotype of a boy, but it took me 15+ read-throughs to get that. (I went to Google first, but that didn't help.)

Plus, now that I kind of understand what it's saying, it doesn't really feel like a secret? So I'm kind of confused? At first, it was like "Yay! A kindred spirit! Let's talk opinions." but now it's like...what? What is this esoteric secret?

i think that they just use proper academic-type terms because they're more concise for the size of the secret, and partly habit for people who talk about gender issues a lot

if it helps, i think the OP is basically saying that they hope the capped statement means takatsuki has realized that gender presentation (dressing up/'presenting' as a boy or girl) isn't what makes someone a "boy" or a girl", and that you can be a boy or a girl without having to adopt a stereotypical masculine/feminine image

because otherwise it's a pretty uncomfortable thought, and implies that takatsuki doesn't think they are a boy because they no longer think about dressing up like one, etc

it's probably a secret because the fandom doesn't react well to hearing that the manga can do wrong
