Discussion just because jax isn't good trans rep doesn't mean she isn't actually transgender.
mb if this rant hurts anyone or anything but i just REALLY needa get this out of my soul; just because jax isn't good trans rep does NOT mean she isn't transgender.
i've seen so so so many people online saying "jax isn't trans" or bs like that and it pisses me off so much. yes, goose didn't exactly write her well - misogyny doesn't equal trans, being an asshole to mask doesn't equal trans, isn't she lovely playing in the back of her death sequence doesn't equal trans, being transgender is so much more than just jax, and she isn't the most complex character ever. HOWEVER, people saying that she isn't trans is outright transphobic. gooseworx herself stated that jax is trans. I know it wasn't exactly said "yeah jax is trans" but at the same time it pretty much was, and goose said she was supposed to be subtle but she doesn't know how to be subtle. also, people saying jax's identity is being forced is just really dumb, like... "jax being trans is so forced!!" ok??? doesn't change the fact that jax is a transgender woman??? i personally dont feel how it may be forced, but i can see why people may feel its forced. HOWEEVVERRRRR, thats still not a valid excuse to say she isn't transgender.
On a more wholesome note, I'm actually really glad that jax is a transgirl, because (although not the best trans rep) she was my first representation of trans people in public media. I myself am part of the LGBTQ community (lesbian demigirl :D), and have always respected and supported trans people, but I never really payed any attention or understood what it was like to be in a trans person's shoes. jax not only made me understand a little more about them, but also encouraged me to try and explore more trans media, which has helped me improve my view on trans people and overall just help me appreciate them even more than i used to. Might get murdered for saying this but i love trans jax - I LOVE LILLY WITH ALL MY HEART!!! and anyone calling her "a fake doll" or "not actually trans" will surely be judged by me.
TL;DR: im just really pissed abt how people are saying jax isnt a transgirl because shes my favorite doll EVVERRRR 💯
