bricrowave but evil

A great example of "It's just a headcanon" is Ragatha being a lesbian, which is an interpetation I love. It enhances a lot of moments in the series for me, I think it makes sense for her character, but there are lots of equally or even more compelling explanations for the gayer things she does in the show, Gooseworx has never implied that Ragatha is queer when discussing it, and her character arc is satisfying and makes sense if you think she's straight.

Jax being a trans girl is very much not that. There were lots of very deliberate creative decisions that just don't make sense otherwise or would generally suck WITHOUT that context (the exchange with Zooble in Episode 7, the song choice of "Isn't She Lovely" in that final montage, and the Gangle dream are the biggest examples of that) and Gooseworx kept teasing something to do with Jax and femininity in countless tweets and Tumblr asks. Trying to watch the show while interpreting Jax as a man significantly dampens the viewing experience, you can tell this by how various people have reacted to Episode 9 and how they interpreted it to reach that reaction.

Lots of cis people have disagreed with the theory because they relate to Jax. That's... really silly. I'm trans and I relate to cis characters all the time! I'm white and I relate to PoC all the time! Good writing can make people of all stripes relate to a character no matter their identity. Other people have said that Jax being trans wasn't explicitly confirmed, so it has to be a headcanon. That's where I do get a little mean and think that they're not particularly media literate. As a rule, good media employs a healthy dose of symbolism, show-don't-tell, and subtext to communicate its themes, and you'll enjoy it more if you acknowledge that the author intended most or all of it.
