@dysnomiaeike@CishetJax The idea that someone would watch an entire show just because the creator is trans—or, better yet, NOT watch it just because the creator is trans—sounds incredibly prejudiced, and the fact that this is coming from you is kind of ironic.
@NunyaSquonk@FORTNITEUNATCO As for the bow: it is a sign of trust—she shows that he can let his guard down and "girly" with her. She wants to create an atmosphere of trust so that he feels comfortable talking about his feelings—something he currently views as "girly" behavior.
@NunyaSquonk@FORTNITEUNATCO 1. His mother used to reprimand him for being too weak, influencing him to believe that men ought to be strong.
2. He feels a constant need to prove his manhood (for instance, the color pink bothers straight men).

@NunyaSquonk@FORTNITEUNATCO 3. You might not see it as a personal matter, but he hides his feelings throughout the entire show—something he views as a "girly" thing.
@NunyaSquonk@FORTNITEUNATCO 1. fragile masculinity
2. he views feelings as "girly" stuff, so he locks them away
3. he opened up and spoke about his feelings regarding the argument—saying how devastated he was and that he couldn't take it anymore—but his mother sees that as weakness...(+)
@StephanieG95180 I took a look at your profile and saw some of your drawings... don't give up, your drawings are amazing—actually, you should post more..
@canknotnot I try to derive my perspective directly from the show itself and build my interpretation based on that; for example, I’ve always seen Jax as a guy struggling with fragile masculinity—hiding his feelings because he thinks doing so is feminine, weak, and so on.
@canknotnot I don't usually trust what Goose says, I normally ignore, Goose always makes fun and doesn't seem to care, answers everything with jokes, so goose never been a good source of information.
She's even joked about it before, stating that he was bi or cis.
@PringleMcDingle @AngelicCreatir I agree! If you really stretched it, you could flip the narrative—except for one detail. Jax’s goal was to end the argument with his mother, not prolong it; revealing that he is trans would have just started another argument, which is why my perspective makes more sense to me..
Why Jax ISN'T trans... and here's why 🧵
Before anything else: this is NOT an attack on trans people, nor am I trying to invalidate other interpretations.
This is simply how I read the character throughout the series. If you disagree, that's totally fine.
@jkfupacc I spoke about this earlier; it doesn't seem right to me.
His problem isn't related to gender identity, but rather to fragile masculinity.

Anyway, that's just my interpretation.
My account isn't even focused on this stuff.
You don't have to agree with me, and it's completely fine if you see the character differently.
I just wanted to explain how I arrived at this conclusion after following the series.
Thx 👋

As for the music and the art:
Personally, I see the song as Jax singing to Pomni.
Especially if she's sacrificing herself for him.
The lyrics don't describe the real Jax—he's basically the opposite.
As for Goose's drawing, I see it as a joke.
Goose never took seriously...
