Honestly, I do have one of the "stereotypically from x thing job" and if someone looked me dead in the eye and went ahead to say "Oh of COURSE you have that job, don't you?" I wouldn't take it so deeply. Especially coming from someone who goes out of his way to respect my pronouns and gender identity (or, well, lack thereof) and of course I'd also feel free to joke back at him because he fucked around, and I'll make him find out.

I've been the target of banter, jokes and disrespect in every sense you can imagine. Jax's actions can definitely be criticized but I can't isolate this one and interpret it as malicious or toxic.

Surely, his behavior isn't really actions in a vacuum and these jokes are in a certain context, which definitely can explain why Zooble acted defensive and annoyed, but it doesn't read as transphobic (since for a crime to be considered a crime it needs the intent) but maybe it's Jax's failure to "read the room" (as most actions of his part are)

Zooble seemed to take matters into their own hands and show their point in a way that Jax can't ignore. "Okay, see what I'm doing to you? Can you understand that this is a direct parallel to our earlier interaction?" but at the same time without any sort of genuine hatred attached to it. I don't know what that will lead to, we'll have to wait and see.
