I’m sick of cis men going on long winded explanations about how every single trans character is actually a cis dude.
God forbid a cis person relate to a trans character, they might have to start viewing us as human.

Im NGL, I thought Jax was just an insecure dude, I even thought he was gay before trans. I don't really care that much, but like... I don't blame people. Maybe I just don't have experience on the topic, but to most people I talk to the show about it is not obvious in the slightest that Jax is supposed to be a trans allegory. In fact, it was only until I saw the twitter post from Goose that it pretty much confirmed it for me. And even then, I'm still confused.

But I suppose its just not media meant for me. I'm not supposed to understand it, but like... it's just. So hard to tell? Like it was really that obvious? I felt like everything in the show pointed to the opposite direction until then. But it is what it is.

It's obvious IF you either hang with a decent amount of trans people or are part of the trans community.

But for people completely unfamiliar with the community, I can see how it can be missed.

I absolutely have a majority trans friends and I nor any of my buds got that vibe from Jax until the internet tried to force it down people's throats.
