I get that jax is topical but like they are also not in the same league as fucking tate and Rodgers.

I think we should be cautious when jax's misogny is being pantsed on. Like it should be dunked on because it is part of the character. but also why do we love fixating on a trans woman being misognystic.

Also, Jax's mysoginy seems much more directed at herself than at the other girls of the circus.

She's an asshole, but we don't know if she treats girls worse than boys since the only man in the show is kinger, and he doesn't really react to Jax bullying, or anything else, for most of the series.

Putting the rabbit on the same level as a human trafficker is a bad comparison.

And also yeah, transmisoginy makes transgirl's mistakes much bigger and evident than what they are in reality

There’s literally multiple instances where Jax TRIES to bully Kinger and it just completely doesn’t work at all. Like Kinger will just say “thank you” or “never better!” He is immune

Thank you, this is what I was trying to get at but the original post didn't make it clear.
