Mulder and Scully are sitting in their car and they’re both thinking “am I a lesbian” and neither of them will say it. Mulder stays in the egg zone because being a woman “seems like a lot of effort,” failing to realize that trans women can be butch & Scully likes to pretend she’s simply career driven with no time for a man. But there’s still that inexplicable longing. Their weird little tension. X files is yuri to me
I want to stress that if Mulder ever transitioned she would look exactly the same. Mulder already looks like those 90s butches. You know.
