As a transmasc enby person in this fandom, I think all the backlash/denial of Jax being transfem is because people are mad that they got "tricked" (I don't actually mean tricked exactly, but that's the best word I can think of right now) into liking/relating to a female character, and not only that, a TRANSFEM female character, especially with the current transphobic stuff going on in the world right now. People only tend to find flawed male characters interesting but find flawed female characters "annoying" and "badly written", so by having us follow a pre transition transfem character this whole time who is flawed and then revealing she's transfem afterwards, people are trying to deny she's transfem because they don't like that they found a flawed female character relatable or likeable. It all comes back to misogyny, because people don't want to admit they like a deeply flawed, traumatized transfem character, so they'd rather deny deny deny and kill the cows so they can't ever come home.
Jax isn't canonically transmasc, nor is she a cis man or a cis woman. You can still relate to her as a transmasc person or a cis man or a cis woman or as a nonbinary person. Both things are true at once. There are many elements of Jax being transfem that come from the pressure of societal misogyny and patriarchy, and everyone in society is affected by that, so we can all still find Jax relatable. Just because a character isn't exactly like you doesn't mean you can't relate to them.
Anyways, all of this to say, Jax is canonically transfem, fellas. You can still like AUs where Jax is a cis guy or a trans guy (as I do, as a transmasc guy who kins Jax). Plenty of people like gender swap AUs and whatnot. However, the reality is that Jax is transfem, so let's please not deny it and be transphobic about it.
Get transfemmed loser /silly /affectionate
Happy pride to all transfemmes out there btw<333
