So I came to this show because bluesky was flooded with “Jax is trans” memes and comments. That’s how I discovered the show (apparently I was living under a rock), so on some level I was waiting for that reveal the entire time.

I binged the show over the past few days, and there was never a big “look Jax is a woman now” reveal that I noticed. Sure there was the french maid outfit, but that felt like a gag to me.

Can someone hold my hand and explain what apparently went over my head about Jax being trans? I’m not arguing it didn’t happen, I’m saying I was apparently oblivious to it.

    For the episodes leading up to the last, Jax’s hidden issue read to these ones as being trans and deeply unhappy about it. These ones have known that person.

    In the last, Jax doesn’t name the thing that made their mom go off, but “trans” was the most consonant with the available evidence, and then Ribbit put the bow on Jax, a classical icon of fem. Jax let it happen, sat with it, and seemed to be happy - until being outed seemed to be on the table.

    A lot of people crack their eggs around outfits that they have affordance to wear - halloween helps a lot of people this way.

    Then there’s the dysphoria hoodie and growing-out hair on Jax’s outer self.
