** Marge is a tourist. Inadvertent at first, sure, but immediately all-in on taking everything she needs from her new friends’ identities to shore up her own. So when Homer, spurred on by Moe’s meddling, crashes Marge’s next party and outs her as a woman, those lowered expectations lead us to think that the necessary rapprochement will simply be between the cis, hetero husband and wife, with the colorful, “fabulous” drag plotline being discarded as no longer necessary. But that’s not what happens. When the partygoers file out grumbling following Homer’s revelation, it’s not due to some stereotypical “Ew, straights” disgruntlement, but a genuine anger that a cis woman has been masquerading as a member of their community to take advantage of them, and their identity. They accuse Marge of “appropriating everything,” and they’re right. As much as Marge’s gripe with Homer for undermining her success and newfound confidence is legitimate, so ,s that of the people she’s used to get that success and confidence.
