Jax Is A Trans Woman Deal With It Part 1
So something that has become a problem in the TADC community is people doubting that Jax is a trans woman. Many people have claimed it is random, out of nowhere sudden, last minute, added on after the fact, and there was no evidence for it. With some even saying it was only been done because of fans.
A lot of people are claiming it was poorly written, poorly done, there was no hints to it, or very few hints to it.
This is all just plain wrong, and I will go into all the boulder sized hints in this post. But there is a few things I would like to get into first.
TADC is an extremely well crafted show, with a great plot, and a lot of details you can pick up on. Even more so if you are paying attention or you go back and rewatch some of the older episodes, especially with hindsight on some thing see. Aka rewatching episode 7 after watching episode 7 for example.
There are many examples of this such as all the details in THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS - Ep 8: hjsakldfhl pointing the the cast being mind copies.
Episode 8 showing us why Caine had an issue with other intelligent ai.
Episode 8 having Kinger's finger animated to accidentally click the delete but which resulted in Caine getting deleted.
All the details throughout THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS - Ep 7: Beach Episode that pointed to it all being an adventure, and that there truly is no exit.
Every single little animation detail and expression in Jax's face when he trying to mask in THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS - Ep 6: They All Get Guns.
How episode 6 was clearly written with the finale in mind.
Etc. etc. etc.
You also have the fact that the show as I discussed in a previous post was clearly planned out for a long while as seen in POMNI WAKE UP TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE, and made even more clear by Goose revealing Jax was always intended to be the one who abstracts since the beginning.
As well as the fact we knew the finale was already written and recorded for a long time, with the story that the VAs and Goose cried after the finale's recording session having been floating around for a long while now.
Heck even the Bowling Ball was subtle foreshadowing.
So with all that being said, any details that might have been put into the show by the creator Goose who is a trans woman herself, that would point to Jax having been intended to be trans would be intentional.
In the words of Oogway, "there are no accidents."
So, let us begin, and we'll start of with the ones that are potentially meant to allude to the fact Jax is trans.
The first one is a small one, but one people see in hindsight a potential joke refencing the fact Jax is a trans woman. It comes from THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS: PILOT and is when Jax says ladies first pushes Gangle out of the way and goes first instead.
It isn't the strongest piece of evidence foreshadowing it, but it is still evidence.
Another one along the same lines as the last on is from THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS - Ep 3: The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor. Which is a joke about how men are, in sense potentially being ironic.
The next is Jax's license plate being 1138 in THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS - Ep 4: Fast Food Masquerade could possibly foreshadowing Jax being trans and their struggles, as the numbers could be a refencing a certain bill. But take it with a grain of salt.
Now moving on to the more clear cut examples, we move onto THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS - Ep 5: Untitled which is when it all starts to become fairly obvious.
First off this is when eggs start showing up with Jax being seen in a shot, with a book saying egg in the background. We'll come back to this later.
We have all throughout this, earlier, and later episode Jax always trying to come off as masculine, and always going overboard.
This mirrors how some trans woman before transitioning will try overcompensate by acting stereotypically masculine, and avoid anything feminine as they try to deny the truth.
One example of this is Jax viewing her tail as the pinnacle of masculinity. She tries to overcompensate and doesn't even realize she doesn't have a tail.
Her lack of a tail could very likely have been done by Caine when creating her using her mind files. And it's appearance it later episodes is Jax subconsciously creating it with her mind.
On top of this Caine made Jax into a rabbit which are often associated as being more feminine. Alongside this rabbits in the middle ages were associated with when and eggs, and later the Easter Hare would be associated with eggs as well. Notice the theme of eggs?
Anyways, Jax being a rabbit can also been symbolic of her running away from who she is. With rabbits being known to run whenever there is danger.
Later you have Jax making some references to things like certain types of bars and other things because of Zooble's comments. Something Zooble tries to pry on what they mean and why they keep making those remarks, which led to Jax she's just having fun, and that she forgot Zooble hates having fun.
This is an important detail I bring up in part 2, because I am limited on how many images I can have on this post for examples.
