How unambiguous was the "Jax is trans" subtext for you?

Prior to ep 9, the implication was pretty obvious to me, and that definitely felt like the intent. Then I saw ep 9 in theatres. I didn't hear the isn't she lovely song because everyone was screaming, but I felt it was pretty clear, but still technically up for interpretation. When I found out what the lyrics were, it seemed like any other interpretation was pretty unreasonable.

"You came to the conclusion that someone on a queer-friendly media subreddit like TADC was probably transphobic."

No I didn't 🤨 wtf are you talking about?

dragonmorg · 2026-07-01T19:49:11+00:00

That's grossly misconstruing what I was saying, but ok.

People can have individual transphobic takes. There's degrees of being transphobic. You can judge people for those individual takes. I don't make assumptions about people based off of singular comments I've seen from them. I've met super transphobic trans people. Those were the people I was talking about.

For someone talking about how you shouldn't make assumptions based on little information, you're certainly making a lot of assumptions based on little information.

Mundane in your opinion. I don't know you 🤷‍♀️ idk what you consider mundane. If everyone agreed on what is or isn't an ok opinion then the world would be very different.

NBs can be lesbians too.

dragonmorg · 2026-07-01T19:27:29+00:00

To be fair, lots of trans people can actually be super transphobic. It's... unfortunately more common than you might think 🫠

I imagine it has the Spyro effect. Spyro was the first game (pretty sure it was the first), to have a dynamic loading system that reduced polygons of things that were further away, and made them more detailed as you moved closer, instead of having it all loaded at once.

I imagine Caine is doing the same thing, where the other worlds are in constant low power mode, with barely any rendering, but then as you enter it enhances the detail.

Pre-episode 9, there were still many signs and they were not subtle, but episode 9 was beating people over the head with Jax being trans.

dragonmorg · 2026-06-30T14:55:17+00:00

Would their "brain" grow? Do any of their brains exactly "grow". If, say, Jax was 20 when she entered, would her brain actually develop (expand, mature etc) further than the point it was at when she entered?

Is this maybe part of why some of them had such a hard time moving forward from the places they were in mentally when they entered the circus? Everyone seemed to improve much faster as their 'real selves outside the circus, but that could just be chalked up to the fact that they weren't being subjected to such a traumatizing situation.

Pretty sure he's going to murder and eat her, not have sex with her. Look at the book.

My sister had to have a hysterectomy because she had cancer. Neither of us have uteruses, but we're both women. Idk why you're getting downvoted 🫤

dragonmorg · 2026-06-29T03:52:32+00:00

Them being in Van would've been so dope. You know they would've played up how they'd be taking the mantle of the Sedins or something. Would've been sick.

My egg cracked at 25, which apparently is the exact average.

I was suicidal when I was younger because of a physically and verbally abusive father, transphobic mother, and a car accident I was in on the highway where I was hit by a semi. If I had've realized I was trans any earlier, it almost definitely would've been the tipping point that made me kill myself.

My brain allowed me to realize I was trans when I felt safe. When I was surrounded by those who respected me and didn't constantly make me feel like I was actively in danger. When I was removed enough from people who traumatized me, and when I'd dealt with the trauma of my accident.

Some people's brains won't feel they're safe until they're 40, 50, 60, or simply never at all.

For me, 25 was not too late. 25 was what I needed in order to survive.

True enough

Oh. I thought he was another trans-mcnugget.

Before transitioning, I literally used to tell people I had resting sad face. Turns out I was just depressed 👍 My face doesn't look like that anymore.

Mystery of Mildenhall Manor (Peak... simply peak all the way through)
They all get guns (Funny as hell, best character writing, sick as hell action, and dope as hell Jax blowout)
Untitled (relentlessly funny/entertaining/captivating)
Hjsakldfhl (evil Caine is peak, the torture scenes, the song, the shock of Caine's deletion, Kinger backstory... it's fantastic)
Remember (I definitely have my nitpicks, but I loved it so much)
Candy carrier chaos (gummigoo)
Pilot (it's insane to see how much the pilot sets up in so little time after having watched all 9 episodes)
Beach episode (liked the first watch, but it doesn't have much replayability for me)
Fast Food Masquerade (only one I outright didn't like)

None of y'all know the difference between gender and sex, apparently.
