#Jordan spent all their lives after their powers emerged constantly trying to fit into a mold that the people around them wanted them in

Also, I think Jordan is overly hard on themselves. Yeah, hindsight is 20/20. But when you spend your whole life being told that who and what you are is wrong, even the most tainted hand feels better than nothing. And I think that’s what makes Jordan’s character so interesting. Because if they had that support at home and surrounding them, Birk wouldn’t have been able to easily manipulate their perspective.

In the third episode Jordan says “Birk didn’t care what I looked like, all he cared was if I was the best…” and it’s very telling of their character. Because that’s all they ever wanted. Someone to not care which form they had.
