They De-Tumblrized Ms. Frizzle
The brain does not magically mature at 25. Actual neuroscientists note some 8-year-olds even have a greater "maturation index" than 25-year-olds. The myth misunderstands basic neuroscience but is still used for anti-trans policymaking like the Cass Report. https://slate.com/technology/2022/11/brain-development-25-year-old-mature-myth.html
Oto anon here in pretty neutral with the lily situation mainly cause I haven't watched the new episode yet ( I don't have a crunchyroll subscription) heres a japanese user about the lily situation goblinmajo on twitter I would have posted it earlier but I couldn't find it sorry about that
No worries! I forget that not everyone watches episodes the week they’re released, so I’m really sorry if I spoiled you with those details D:
Thank you for mentioning the twitter user

Still though, I think people have mixed views. Some Japanese people are saying she’s otokonoko, others are saying she’s trans 100% for sure so idk :\

The NYPD has forced all journalists to leave Columbia campus and started to make arrests of students forming a human chain around Hind’s Hall. They are making their way into the hall that the students have occupied in solidarity with Gaza and in honour of Hind Rajab. The police are also blockading students, medics and press inside buildings so they can not document and bear witness.
