okay so. i’m seeing a lot of critiques of jax’s character and i agree with a lot of them but what i don’t agree with is that she’s a bad portrayal of transness.

i think she’s a cautionary tale. her inability to reach out for help or be honest with who she is as a trans woman is what led to her death. staying closeted and closed off and cruel is what led to her death. the inability to be honest with herself or with others is what led to her death

yes it is tragic that a trans woman died. but that’s the point. the point is that in her last moments she realized she would’ve been loved and accepted. in her last moments all that was there was that pink streetlight that she couldn’t snuff out and the one girl that never gave up on her even when she should have

also, those same people are refusing to understand that characters ≠ real people and that sometimes trans people can be pieces of shit. yes, even trans women. it’s not inherently transmisogynistic for a transfem or transfem-coded character to be abusive. if the author is a transphobic piece of shit like jk rowling that’s different but gooseworx herself is a trans woman. i am not saying that trans women can’t be transphobic or transmisogynistic. i am saying that jax being a transfem and an abuser isn’t transmisogynistic of gooseworx to write because again, abusers come from all walks of life. trans, cis, male, female, white, poc, rich, poor, abled, disabled, NT, neurodivergent, etc, etc. there is absolutely no exclusive category of person that 100 times out of 100 turns out to be an abuser.

do not twist my words. if you are angry over this post i want you to reread it four more times and if you are still angry then you are probably a TRF, TERF or aligned with their beliefs so i’d like you to block me instead of attacking me or putting death threats in my inbox. have a good day.

Look I ADORE Funnybunny and there was definitely a shit ton of shipping fuel for them in the finale…

But in real life, in the physical world, she's at Riley's bar. She's surrounded by other queer people. He killed himself but she's alive in a place hosted by the nonbinary person he resented. She has the community of other queer people that he rejected.
