my personal position on butch homestuck characters is that jane being the first human woman to choose pants and to do so with big fucking basketball shorts is like. the half-way point in a horror movie where you're supposed think they can make it out, that they're gonna be okay. and then they fucking don't. if jane had the opportunity to start testosterone, like half the homestuck epilogues wouldn't have happened. the ghost of this not happening, and instead her doubling down on every broken image of "acceptable womanhood", haunts her character forever.
