Is this story behind the inspiration for Princess Turdina true?

I'm remember hearing about how Daron Nefcy was inspired to create Marco's arc about his rebel princess persona, Princess Turdina from her real life childhood friendship with a boy. He was interested in wearing make up and Nefcy helped him with a makeover but he got in trouble for it. This really upset Nefcy so when creating SvTFOE, Nefcy wanted to include this arc as a way to show that Marco was comfortable enough with his masculinity that he didn't mind being a princess. It was a show audiences and younger viewers that people breaking gender expectations is okay and can even be inspirational which I admire.

I wanted to share this with a community I'm in but I also want to confirm if this is true because I remember hearing it but I don't remember where it came from
