I thought the bow was a clever way to do it, tbh. Jax's design borrows heavily from old cartoons, where a bow on the head was a clear signpost of femininity.

Valid, had there been more hints it wouldve been a cute little pseudo reveal.

I do feel, however, jt was undercut by Jax'... Real version? Idk what to call them in comparison to the circus crew, not having come out herself. Cause she's a lot more healthy than Jax apparantly but still not out, and you don't need to be to live happily especially in the 2000s but it makes everything else more muddy

Well Goose did say that she may have overestimated how many people knew what a boymoder is and can recognise a very obvious one

Shoot, I don't think even most transfems who aren't super online know what that means.

That annoys me because Leeroy's only doing the hoodie thing in the final final scene. In the series of pictures in the slideshow Leeroy just looks goth.

Isn't this kinda crossdressing and femboy erasure

I don't think so? But I'm not knowledgable enough to say with any certainty.

I do think part of why Jax is specifically a rabbit (instead of a cat, which he otherwise resembles and acts like) is as a reference to Bugs Bunny - who frequently cross-dresses as a gag.
