We are so lucky to have Greta, and her friendship with Jo and Jess and the others. So often in media femmes are presented as closer to "normal", separate from their more visibly queer counterparts.
A League of their Own destroys this misconception entirely. I could imagine a straight audience watching and thinking there would be some rift between Greta and butch characters like Jess and Lupe, but instead all you find in the show is solidarity trust comfort and genuine friendship. She and Jess do their nails on her bed - and it's clear not only that Greta feels more at ease with Jess than with straight cis society, but that Jess, who is viscerally uncomfortable with feminine-coded beauty care in a cis- and hetero-normative context, feels fully at ease to do her nails with Greta, the perhaps most visibly feminine person on the show. This is also of course evident in her friendship with Jo, but I think it speaks even more volumes how easily she falls into this with new people.
I don't think we can really know how Greta would present nowadays or just in other contexts - so much of her feminity is a crafted shield. But in general what a gift -- no, straight audience, Greta is not like you. She is not for you. She is one of us.
