earnestly wishing for a transmasculine jax is an example of how most of us non-transmisogynized trans people seem wholly unable to grasp that 1-the trans experience is not symmetrical because of transmisogyny 2-half the time, "transmasc [transfemine(-coded) characer]" is also just blatantly transphobic
IF the character depicted is a "guy" being horrible to people, depressed and extremely reactive due to being a closeted trans woman experiencing the horrors, that's relatable and interesting. if the guy is a trans man then, for one, you just made fictional man who's a dick #329847928423, congratulations, and also, that doesn't give the best image of transition does it? you can aim to represent trans men who are assholes in art, god knows there's plenty of them around, but a trans man that's so clearly uncomfortable with masculinity yet obsessed with performing it and is tortured by his friends because of it? um. what does that intend to say exactly.
allow me to get cynical for a second and say that sometimes a lot of people seem to want to slap a trans sticker into some blorbo instead of an actually compelling story about us
