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.

Well, it's gotten to the point where people aren't just shooting out questions/speculation about Claire's junk, and getting into the serious territory where these things should end up. It's also great to see trans* people signing up and giving their accounts and insights (and the bajillion links to various trans* information sites also clarified a lot). But it's like someone posted earlier in the thread (I just finished reading it, I am NOT trawling back through to find it, but I WILL thank you anyway for it), and what I've always thought: people just want to be treated as people.

Hi all!

Long time lurker, long time willing to post, and this thread finally made me get my act together.
English is not my mother language, and I hope that it won't show too badly.
I am finally posting here... Not because I identify in any way with any particular character - or their adventures - but because I somehow identify myself with a bit of each one of them, and with many of the forum contributors, in their views.
I just think that this thread is AWESOME, and it tells a lot about you guys. Needless to say, mostly goooood.
I had a bit of an internal debate with regards to whether I should post this in the "Hi, I'm new" thread instead, but finally made up my mind to say something here.
The comic, in many ways, is dealing with Content that might be considered by some people as Questionable, but the wonderful truth is, what I see here is a lot of people who are very much willing to break barriers and show that common acceptance of human beings - no matter what their particular conditions are - is something worth looking forward too. Even in situations where debate arises. In spite of the <irony>occasional</irony> over-analysis.  :psyduck:
Congratulations to you all.

Sidhekin:
Comics: Good.

Forum: Train crash.

I think I'll take a break from the forum.  No way I'm going to read all that; too much frustration and hostility; too much noise.  Sorry if I thereby also miss out on the good discussion in between.

See you after the storm!

Throg:
OK. Just one tiny and utterly tangential observation...but today's strip about Claire really does make me think the QCverse is a post-scarcity world.

"I started transitioning my first year in college"? I had a friend back in college who didn't 'transition' until well after college, and after he was making scads of money on his own. Transitioning is EXPENSIVE. All the more so because it's a wholly elective (duh!) procedure.

So either this is a post-scarcity, everybody's-more-or-less-taken-care-of world, or Claire's family must be rather well-off. Although I guess one could've guessed that because of the artifical prosthetic hand for a firecracker accident.

Harlequin:
Jeph's starting to toe the line with "fucking this up."

I would never give permission for someone else to talk about my gender status to anyone else. That's just asking for trouble.
