It really annoys me when people get mad and argue about the validity of Daisy, which as I’m sure you know, is what the fandom has named transfem Jax.

The thing is, nothing’s confirmed. It’s all about interpretation. For an example, let’s take this scene from episode 9;

Ribbit takes off her bow and places it on Jax’s/Daisy’s head, to which he/she seems happy. This happens right after Jax/Daisy tells Ribbit about their relationship with their parents.

Now here’s where we run into a problem; Interpretation.

Here’s the Jax route.

Jax is happy because he sees Ribbit still trusts him, and doesn’t think of him as any less of a friend after what he told her. She promises to keep his secret.

Here’s the Daisy route.

Daisy is happy because the bow on her head makes her feel more feminine, validating her identity, which helps further her bond with Ribbit.

How is this a problem? Because there’s no dialogue after this interaction to confirm either side. I personally feel like both are valid, I can understand both sides, but to fight over it and call people transphobic just because they don’t agree? It’s just stupid. The way YOU interpret something doesn’t mean it’s right. Again, I understand both points, I believe that both Jax and Daisy are valid characters, I like drawing both of them, and there’s no reason to fight.
