--- Quote from: marsman57 on 19 Nov 2012, 06:39 ---Odd, my take away on the impact of the Claire/Clinton relationship is different than most in this topic have presented. I think that rather than showing that Clinton is not accepting of her like some have suggested, that this knowledge lets us see that he actually really does love her deeply and their bickering is just normal sibling problems.
The reason I say this is because I believe if he truly was as unaccepting or hateful toward her as some have suggested that he would have outed her long ago.

I agree - it would go a way to explain why he's a "good brother" despite being a jerk, no?
If he really had a problem with it, I suspect he would have mentioned it before she did. "Did you know that Claire is really... a man???"

--- Quote from: MercuryP on 19 Nov 2012, 07:29 ---I'm kind of interested to see where this goes. I don't think there's a point to introducing an explicitly trans character and then not doing anything about it, but I can't really imagine there's that much of a story to tell beyond talking about things that happened in the past.

I actually think there would be a quite valid point to introducing Claire's trans-ness (what's the right word here? Don't kill me, angry tumblr-people!!) and making a brief (keyword here: Brief!) arc about the "coming out" and then it quickly being over with. It would in any case be setting a good example of how it should be in society, with no one making it an issue at all and everyone just moving along with life, without treating Claire differently in any other way. As I said: The way it ought to be, with trans people just not being anything you even raise an eyebrow at, and accept just as readily as any ol' cissie.

Geez. I read the comic, ask a carefully phrased, non-threatening threatening question out of ignorance and a desire to learn more about something I don't understand, get a few helpful answers, and think, "Maybe this comic is designed to bring the issue of transsexuals into the open and spark discussion/learning about it!"
Then I get up and read the last six pages. Basically everyone stepping on everyone else's toes (intentionally or not) and sniping at each other over it.
If I may ask another question, why do some people write "trans" as "trans*"? Again, I'm only asking because this is something I have no experience with, I'm not intending to cause offense here.
