Ok so I'm actually going to make my own post about it instead of derailing someone else's post about it bc everyone can have whatever the fuck headcanons they like and this one's mine:

I headcanon Jason Fox from the comic series Foxtrot as trans, but unlike the original poster who sites that he's a trans girl, I personally think he's a trans guy, with the Kafka's Metamorphosis homage indicating his fear of undergoing puberty into a girl body rather than interpreting it as a concealed desire.

Personally I think it's a factor in why he has such a rocky relationship with Paige and Eileen, in that he's maybe consciously or subconsciously afraid that connecting with them or having commonalities with them will make him "more of a girl".

I think he must be out at least to his family, and transitioned definitely socially if nothing else and possibly is/going to be on puberty blockers and my personal hc is that once it's very clear that it's going to work and he's not going to be metamorphed into a form that fills him with horrid amounts of despair and disgust (someone tell this boy the word dysphoria ffs) he'll level out and be a better friend and sibling.

Idk if Marcus knows, I'm kind of thinking not since he fears him becoming attracted to him as a girl (side note idk what orientation I hc for him, I could honestly see anything being the case later on in life, but he's still a kid so a lot could change in future or not).
