My impression is that Jake’s thoughts on trans matters are yours, given plausible deniability by putting them in the mind of a character intended to be read as unsympathetic. The naive reader might read the story as criticising those ideas, just from halo effect. Nathan certainly read it that way, found that the Claude AI didn’t, and responded by forcing Claude to say what he wanted it to say.
BTW, while Jake may be intended to be seen as the bad guy in this story, I believe that some readers are going to side with Jake all the way through.
