"Jax being trans makes no sense! There were no signs at all until Gooseworx confirmed it!" Uuuuhhhhh yes there were. Go back and watch it again. Even if you didn't catch it the first time, rewatching through a new lens will reveal all the little hints. Stop being arrogant.
I think it's telling that a lot of people who are claiming Jax is bad trans representation are cis people. If you are one of these people, you most likely have good intentions and don't want trans people to be portrayed in bad light. But you're not helping. You're alienating many, MANY trans people who relate to the repression that Jax exhibits.
Jax is meant to be a cautionary tale against denying who one is and refusing support when it's needed. A lot of trans people never tell anyone that they're struggling until it's too late. A lot of trans people have taken this warning to heart and opened up to loved ones that they trust for help and support as a result of the finale.
Worried cis people, your white knighting might be done in good faith, but it's actually harmful in the long run. Instead of asserting your own belief that Jax is inherently bad trans rep, read into what the story is actually saying and share why Jax's ending was impactful. Do not contribute to shallow readings of stories. Encourage deeper thinking so people can actually understand what authors are trying to convey.
Maybe a hot take but saying that Jax can't/shouldn't be transfem because trans women shouldn't be portrayed as bad ever is transphobic because it places trans people on an unrealistic pedestal and places pressure on them to be perfect 24/7.
Would anyone read a slowburn of Grace figuring out that he's aroace and struggling to accept it because he wants a romantic relationship and eventually Rocky and Adrian become his queer platonic partners

Have we considered Ryland Grace going mad over the five year trip to Erid and making a decision he'll later regret, and instead of being treated as a hero to the Eridians, he's treated as a murderer who needs to be kept alive to convey taumoeba usage. Once he's settled more, he realizes what he actually did on board the Hail Mary and is completely broken by the fact that he murdered his best friend.
Even if it's not canon, getting aroace representation from Ryland Grace genuinely makes me a bit emotional. There's been so much aphobia lately that having a character that most of a fandom headcanons as aroace is really important. You're all valid. <3
"If you say you relate to Jax then you're abusive!" Shut the fuck up
Signs you are too immature to be on the internet:
1: You view liking Jax as a moral failing
