reicreature:
I'm really happy about this development and how it's being handled thus far. I'm looking forward to seeing how this goes and think it will be a great education for people to learn how to be inclusive and non-offending.
This is also a pretty great guideline when it comes to discussing how someone identifies themselves:

Looks like Marten is taking a page out of Dr. Sheldon Cooper, PhD.'s manual for social interaction.
It really is a non-optional social convention.
Soulsynger:
"Hey, Paul, if you could have any superpower of any webcomic's character, which would you choose?"
"I guess Marten's ability to instantaneously sober up between two strips. That guy must get all the chicks."
... just noticed. Of course, on some people coffee CAN have a VERY sobering effect.

I think you should. Asking is / should be free and it would be immensely educational. °O
Border Reiver:
Really happy for two things:
A. The discussion here, while more active than normal, is respectful to each other while still being interesting; and
B. Marten realizes this is a coffee discussion item, vice need other drinks to try and process.
Well done.
And this little revelation certainly clarifies some of Claire's comments earlier in the strip. I await seeing how some of the others will handle it.
Promethean Sky:
Thanks Jeph for clearing up the details. One thing I've learned from being around Trans people is that it can mean a whole bunch of different things depending on who's using the term.
I think there are far more Trans people out there than most people realize. Or maybe I just happen to keep crossing paths with them.
