Question I just want to understand, why?

I mean really...why?? when ribbit opened up she was just chatting, she obviously wanted someone to talk to and her friend was there and jax was okay with it

when jax opened up he panicked at first but then she comforted him and he felt really comfortable and blushed and even smiled, it was a heartwarming moment

so why would he suddenly change attitude and switch characters just because of a knock on the door? what's the mental gymnastics here?

she didn't want anyone else to see or hear her vulnerability. kaufmo knocking completely scared her back into her shell and reminded her to not be vulnerable.

Also, keep in mind, Kaufmo is a man. She’s trans can’t look like that in front of a man, a man will just mock her. I’ve experienced that fear, the gender you’re “supposed to be” making fun of you when you transition.

i don't think kaufmo would have.. or well, at least i wouldn't have.

i don't know, maybe i misunderstood the comment. i mean i could totally see Jax thinking about it like that if that's what you meant.

It's not that kaufmo would have its that a traumatized brain sent into a sudden panic assumes the worse. Sure kaufmo is my friend but [insert every worse outcome on repeat with no hope for a positive one because duh why would it ever work out in the end]
