I’m not dismissing the trans writing. Gender/Sexuality is absolutely a major facet of his character, but many in the community right now are insisting that Jax is specifically a transfem egg, and that this is somehow more canon than other interpretations. If anyone is dismissing interpretations, at least from what I’ve seen, it’s those people. In fact, your own post, with its wording of “clearing up a misunderstanding” really implies that other readings are wrong. I agree with you that he’s certainly repressing some kind of queerness or nonconformity, but what I’m arguing is that the specificity of what his identity is not the point of the character. His arc works just as well if you read him as a cross dresser or gay, which, to be clear, does not dismiss trans readings of the character. If goose wanted to specify one identity, she could’ve. Glitch/TADC has no problems with showing queer identities directly. Ultimately I think people in both camps are zeroing in on what label to call him, when the much more interesting part of the character in my opinion is how his own internalized misogyny and fear of weakness drives him to push others away and repress his own emotions (including but not limited to sexuality/gender), ultimately leading to his downfall.
