I know that you prefer BunnyTeeth as a gay ship, and I do too! I shipped them hardcore as a gay ship, and the canonisation of trans Jax doesn't diminish that in the slightest to me. For me, a transfem reading doesn't have to mean a relationship suddenly become straight, nor does it mean the character is now a woman.
Transfem also includes nonbinary and genderfluid people (my personal head canon, especially since Goose (a trans woman) doesn't mind people calling Jax with he/him/whatever pronouns), hell, he don't have to be even be a transfem to fall under the trans umbrella, he could be a trans man who over-masculinise himself in order to be seen as a man, but ultimately prefer to to present femininely and feels that he's inadequately a man because of it.
He could still be transmasc and prefer dresses and long hair and feel gender dysphoria due to that. He could be genderfluid, but prefer to dress femininely no matter what gender he currently is. He could still dress in masculine clothes too; I haven't seen anyone talk about how he don't necessarily reject masculinity, rather, he over-masculinise as an effort to diminish a part of him that prefers femininity.
Essentially, just because the bunny is trans doesn't mean that the bunny is now in a straight relationship with a man.
Anyways sorry for the long rant.

Yes exactly! Thank you so much 🥹💖 I've been seeing so many people saying Bunnyteeth is a "straight ship" now and that really makes me worry about potential gatekeeping and policing of how other people enjoy Bunnyteeth.
All Jax's should have the space to thrive! Trans Fem Jax, Trans Masc Jax, Cis Male Femboy Jax, Dysphoric Jax, Genderqueer Jax, just because Gooseworx confirmed the character is Trans Fem on social media shouldn't invalidate or diminish other interpretations in fandom spaces, especially when so much of it was left to subtext and inferrence and the show never confirmed one way or the other.
Alastor in Hazbin Hotel is canonically Asexual, but that doesn't stop people from writing him as Demisexual, or Graysexual, or as non-ace spectrum sexualities too! Not to mention the issues I've had regarding the Aroace Alastor headcanon, where people would come to my fics saying Al can't be shipped with anyone because he's aroace when, canonically speaking, he's not Aromantic. Just Asexual.
I don't want that to happen with this silly little ship too, where people say I'm in the wrong for not writing Jax as Trans Fem and try to get on my case over it. I just have a personal preference for yaoi and I'm here to have fun 🥺✨
Don't apologise for the rant, I greatly appreciate it 🫂
