I concur that Tom King was surprisingly accurate with his description of what Cassie is all about. Everyone should take note.
A thread discussing the feminization of Cassie and the issues with it.
What was accurate about it exactly?
He recognized that in Cassie's origin she didn't wanna be "feminine" and yet she idolized Wonder Woman, a very feminine princess, but in a non conforming way. And Cassie is so stringly motivated by Diana that she takes the moniker "Wonder Girl" in testimony of Diana's stance.
Plus he focussed Cassie's strength as coming from her making someone give her the power (rather than some kind of divine bloodline)
The way I see it, Cassie is a non-conforming person that surrounds herself in feminine strength as a champion of it, without being part of it
And Tom King said about 70% of the things I consider important to Cassie. Not perfect, but pretty good. Other writers should take notes.
I agree with most of the things written in that twitter thread you linked to.
AND HER DESIGN STILL SUCKS
A 19-year-old woman doesn't dress like her 13-year-old self, shouldn't be surprising. I had friends who were obsessed with Avril Lavigne at 13 and dressed just like her. Five years later, you couldn't see them dressing like that anymore.
People go through phases and have different tastes at different stages of their lives. Cassie growing into a more feminine woman is not strange in any way.
However, her New 52 portrayal is a different matter entirely.

I’ve never gotten tomboy from Cassie other than her first appearance really
