Why Jax is trans

Trans people can skip this essay if they wanna.

First and foremost I think we can all agree that Jax is trans. Just overlooking the subtext that has become text of the series (Glitch Productions, 2026), Gooseworx (2026) confirmed it in a post. Anecdotally I’ve seen queer spaces take in Jax as the next trans person in their roster. What is noticeable is that in those spaces (that are full of trans people) they all use she/her pronouns for her (me included). Though they don’t mention her much. It’s a weird show. I can’t blame them. Still I want to talk about her with people. Where else to go than TADC communities?

Those who have done the same journey know what comes next. Here’s a comment I found that shows it for the unaware. “yeah because watching the episode and showing jax with a pink bow blushing automatically equals in everyone’s head he’s trans🤡” (meowtactical, 2026). Please don’t attack any specific accounts, this one already has -1 karma. To be honest the post infuriates me on multiple accounts. Most people probably know why though so I’ll move on.

What I want to ask is why people think that and why it pulls on me so much.

The people against trans Jax

I’ve looked into arguments against Jax and I really found one main argument against trans Jax:

Not Enough Proof

While that argument is slightly irrational (Gooseworx, 2026) I can’t help but understand why they have it. These aren’t people who have a large understanding of the trans experiences. “God you look stupid” (Glitch Productions, 2025) resonates with my trans experience greatly. A cis person watching that scene might not get it as much. There’s a reason “Daisy Theory” became a popular theory after that episode. A lot of trans people related with her and drew conclusions.

I must add though that I am interpreting people kindly here. I’m sure plenty of them are just transphobic, but those aren’t the people I’m trying to get through to. So if you’re a cis person who doesn’t feel like they “get” trans Jax, then I highly recommend you check out a trans person's understanding of her. Or even better if you know a trans person you can ask them directly. Just remember to keep an open mind.

The people against the people against trans Jax

Though that doesn’t explain why I get so infuriated by people who use he/him for her. I think by looking at what another trans person thinks about this. “Using he/him pronouns for Jax … [for personal comfort] ... is genuinely just transphobic.” (That1Gal3-141, 2026) “Yes we are all just playing with dolls but headcanons are adding to someone else's dolls, and no one likes it when someone takes your toys n tells you you are playing with them wrong”

Jax is not a person, she is a fictional character, Gooseworx’s doll as she said. Gooseworx (2026) wanted to tell this story of trans Jax. To then claim that Jax isn’t trans isn’t registered as an attack on the character, but on transgender people and their experiences. ‘Jax can’t be trans because she is mean’ has the subtext of ‘if you’re mean you’re not allowed to be trans’

I think the trans community has had enough to deal with. Why give them more?

I know there might be cis people reading this that have said things like that. I’m gonna say that yeah, that was a messed up thing to say. But to err is human; to forgive divine (Pope, 1711). If you want to improve there are people that can help you.

In Requiem

Jax is trans. Some people accept that and some don’t. We can hope people come to terms with this.

ig ill do some ranting abt this so uh

TADC EP 9 SPOILERS

MAINLY FOR JAX

and also before but i cant be bothered to keep track of that

Jax is transfem, first and foremost. Sure she could be transfem enby of some kind, probably not fluid but i suppose it works, wtv wtv. But she is transfem, there is no argument there.

I am glad she abstracted like that, its so fucking sad that she never got to be herself, but it's a good message, I have mixed feelings on whether her returning would be good or not, consequenses and all, but being able to see a prominent male character be able to live as her true self would also be amazing, even if just in promo material and shorts.

please take this with an ocean of salt but i have a feeling gooseworx may have said you can use any pronouns in order to avoid being killed with hammers by the unfortunately large toxic part of the fandom, alongside with the closet being complicated. speaking from my own experience, my pronouns are she/they but irl, in practice, they are he/they because i dont feel safe enough to be out yet. My pronouns are NOT HE/THEY/SHE, they are SHE/THEY, but he is used in situations where I am closeted. i know i might be biased but i think its a similar situation.

continuing with that, however. I am out to my immediate family, they are supportive on paper, however my dead name and he/him pronouns are more familiar and comfortable for them, so they all still use them. This Isn't Pleasant.

Using he/him pronouns for Jax bc "oh but im so used to using he/him so, ill just keep using it bc i dont wanna make myself uncomfortable :(((" is genuinely just transphobic. "I felt such a close connection with him as a man, he felt like a friend", would you do the same if your long time male best friend bro buddy dude came out as transfem? bc its more comfy? (this goes all the other ways too, for transmascs n enbies n all the others).

Using he/him because the closet is confusing and talking about the past is fine, everything in the past that called her he/him is fine, but doing it for your own personal comfort isn't.

You cannot headcanon Jax as transmasc without being reductive to her and without completely missing the point of her character. headcanoning Jax as transmasc just makes it seem like being trans makes you a horrible person to your AGAB, or being taught your AGAB is inferior via misogyny or misandry, will make you trans, both of which, I'd say, are very problematic.

Yes we are all just playing with dolls but headcanons are adding to someone else's dolls, and no one likes it when someone takes your toys n tells you you are playing with them wrong, these are gooseworx's dolls, not yours, your dolls are AU fanfics and art, if you want transmasc jax, please by all means, write that, draw it, those AUs are yours to command, but dont mess around with goose's.

as for the less acusatory stuff but it might devolve back into it

Jax is definitely my favourite character now, she is a horrible person who did horrible things, but it was for horrible reasons that weren't her fault. She knew what she was doing, always.

She knew she was an asshole, she knew what she did hurt others, she knew it would drive them to the brink and beyond. She always knew, and she still did it, entirely on purpose.

She did it because she hated herself, she didnt think she was worthy of love. She did it because she was scared, if you dont think you are worthy of love, and someone seems to love you, that means surely there must be an ulterior motive. So she pushed ribbit away, she pushed and pushed until Ribbit pushed back, Ribbit wanted to care for Jax.

Put her arms around her.

Jax pushed back with all her might.

The sequence of Pomni running to Jax beside the lampost, I cannot think of Jax's words without crying. I cannot count how many times I have heard those exact words said to me by others. I'm just lucky I could reply before.

last notes

saddest man alive (asshole (with fear in his heart)) -> happiest woman alive (asshole (with love in her heart)) is objectively amazing.

if she wasnt an asshole gooseworx post jax is so amazing and so real

i might get killed with like 3 hammers for this all but oh well

maybe the real digital circius was the friends we made along the way
