I don't read Dorothy as normative fem at all. I don't think they went strongly butch with her, but she's so independent and strongminded, really holding her own against the Men of Letters and her father, to strike out as a Hunter and a freedom fighter for Oz... with her motorcycle and her give'em Hell attitude... I thought she was fantastic.

I'm a long time fan of the Oz books (Ozma of Oz is my fave) and spn!Dorothy really takes the strongminded, adventurous little girl, lets her grow up, and gives her a great arc. Imho!

I also read a lot into Dorothy's throwaway that Ozma is "an ass". In the books, Ozma is the rightful Fairy Queen of Oz. She is an eternal girl (who genderswitched from being a boy for a long time). I definitely think that Dorothy contrasts herself as a woman of action to Ozma (who seems to be content to let freedom fighters take care of trouble in her kingdom) and to the Men of Letters (who didn't use to admit women in Dorothy's dad's day, not that she would have wanted to join.)
