for the pokémon one, yukari is just a gnc girl who feels limited by societal norms for japanese women, imo. she doesn’t outwardly express the desire to be male; as much as, she does feels distress at being forced into revealing clothes or expected to perform femininity. she starts out seeing being female as a hindrance to her dream, which is why she adopts this boy persona. it’s genuine escapism
