@kelsmister@mimikyumiu@snickerolli Also, forgot to mention the scene where it rapidly shows Jax wearing many different outfits, and looking depressed in all of them, before finally covering his whole body in static.
@kelsmister@mimikyumiu@snickerolli LITERALLY stuck in THE CLOSET, that was chained up and repressed by his other personalities. This was ‘in-your-face’ evidence, unlike the other things which were sub-text.
@kelsmister@mimikyumiu@snickerolli What good could telling a ‘personal secret’ do in helping relieve this pain? Why would Jax tell the secret THEN?
Unless Jax thought the weight of being the masculine father of the house would be relieved by saying something like, let’s say… ‘I think I’m a woman, Mom.’
@kelsmister@mimikyumiu@snickerolli Yes. I didn’t deny this happening, in fact I’ve also dealt with this growing up and I’m not trans.
This happening in Jax’s situation though? Jax explained how much it all was getting to him, and what did he do in response to it all? He told his mom a ‘personal secret.’
@kelsmister@mimikyumiu@snickerolli was practically groomed into believing that, because he was growing up in a place where toxic sexist ideas like that would fester and nag at Jax
@kelsmister@mimikyumiu@snickerolli by anyone as even close to being ‘feminine’, which was why Ribbit had to keep it a secret. Jax’s terrible home life taught Jax that it was unacceptable to be caught doing anything close to femininity.
I’m not saying that *I* believe only women can like bows, I’m saying that Jax
@kelsmister@mimikyumiu@snickerolli The secret was what was told to Jax’s mom before she was pushed, her reaction to the secret is why she was pushed in the first place
