Interesting video. I'm not entirely sure what the takeaway point she was trying to make is, though.

I mean, Contrapoints was a Philosophy PhD. Often her videos are not "here's what to think" but simply presenting two major conflicting schools of philosophical thought.

In this case at least some of it is gender as performative by Judith Butler

Based on the comments it seems there's a decent number of people who just struggle with how much to conform to optics/how much to be themselves, where this really voiced their internal monologue. Some examples:

(But there's also quite a bit of criticism too, from people who view this video as a call towards gender conformity, and adherence to the gender binary. Which...only really makes sense as a criticism if you feel that one of the debaters is supposed to be more right than the other, as opposed to presenting a kind of Yin-Yang of the argument).
