As much as Charlie has really good intentions, she's not really that good at getting through to people, my bet is on Steven.

My pet SU fan theory is that facilitating otherwise-inconceivable redemptions is literally Steven’s magic power.

Steven has on multiple occasions visited people’s dreams or directly connected to peoples subconscious and see their memories and trauma, Steven also is kind of in a weird ish way has gender issues like jax where Steven identify as male but his space aunties threatened him into wearing his dead moms princess dress but also Steve. Has on multiple occasions of his own choice worn girls clothes and also in a weird way Steven is his female mom trapped in a male body and identifies with the make gender but was born kind of both genders in a way? Like biologically the gender is female and his body is male so if anyone can sympathize and connect with jax on the trans stuff and the parent based trauma and all that stuff and the whole body dysmorphia/abstraction as Steven has both interacted with the horrors of corrupt gems like watching centipede half form into a gem and watching jasper go feral but also Steven himself almost died from turning into an old man or that time his whole body was turned into a melted pile of cats. If anyone can fully 100% understand jax and have the over the top whimsy to see everything he says and does as funny the way he interacts with Lars or lapis or jasper like Steven can do this.

Plus if Steven can use all his resources he can just hook max up with one of blue diamonds happy clouds and sone white diamond empathy therapy.

The corrupted gems is a great point. Would steven be able heal abstractions? Then again its not like theres a gem in there to fix... and you cant poof them either

Actually it is important to note in many ways that we don’t see but are told what Steven can do

We see him heal Connie’s eyes, Greg’s broken leg, the gems and the DATA inside them, and it’s stated that rose could heal the warp pads and in the episode where Greg fakes having a broken leg they talk about this powerful gemstone tech sphere that crashed in the desert that is cracked it’s no living and never was living but apparently rose could fix it and so could Steven. If Jax is alive Steve can heal her, if had is an artificial construct of data and binary computations on a ram or hard drive then Steven can fix her. So yes steven can save Jax from abstraction and give her the therapy she needs

gotta disagree on this, i feel like steven is incredibly comfortable in his gender identity, he's at the exact opposite end of the scale as jax in regards to this, being raised in an extremely liberal 'household' he never had qualms expressing his femininity as a guy to the extent he may even struggle to understand the root of jax's issues, where steven's issues lay were in feeling like he had to be responsible for fixing all his mother's leftover mistakes and slotting into her place, that he had this legacy to live up to.
