The only way I can reconcile this depiction of Maxie is that it's Giles' perturbed fanfiction of what Maxie is like. I hardly know anything about Maxie and yet I know that it is wrong. It's Giles glazing fic. Maxie calls him perfect so many times, and the script constantly uses the word "female." I hate how many of these are in contention for my least favorite thing.
