Spoilers for episode 9!!!

Jax was explicitly confirmed as transgender, and anybody who argues otherwise is at best ignorant and at worst actively transphobic. It makes me so angry how much everybody denies the obvious truth. I mean, there's literally a long ass montage of all her moments with the song "Isn't she lovely?" and it's focused solely on Jax. She literally comes out to Ribbit in the flashback too.

It makes me so fucking sad and angry how little cis people will even try to understand anything. It's not open-ended. It's not ambiguous. It's blatantly obvious, and if you argue otherwise you are just a transmisogynist. agg it makes me so upset; I'm literally crying rn. I wish gooseworx had just had Jax say, "I want to be a girl" flat out.

Jax's whole fucking arc is a cautionary tale against repression. Its message is to live as yourself and to be honest about who you are. The episode ends with Jax not being able to live as herself. She could have been beautiful and wonderful and lovely, but she wasn't and never will be now, because she was too scared to be herself. That's the fucking message of the character, and yet, even after ALL THAT, people are still denying it and rejecting it and mocking it.

A transgender woman made a series with a self-insert character. A bunny who gets a little girl's room with the colors of the trans flag, who struggles with masculinity, whose backstory is about how she admitted something personal and vulnerable to her mom and was mocked for it, who was given a cute feminine bow and told "your secret is safe with me," whose final moments are set to a song celebrating and mourning the girl she could have been. And still, it's denied.
