Because Jeph will certainly treat the subject matter with care and respect, but no matter what he does, no matter how he proceeds, he cannot win. If everyone in the cast is fully accepting of Claire as she is, for who she is, Jeph will be derided for displaying an inaccurate representation of the realities trans people face. If, say, Emily, behaves as Emily does, as is characteristic for her, with an innocent lack of tact and sensitivity, Jeph will be condemned for somehow endorsing such tactlessness and insensitivity. If Claire displays any sort of personal preference that does not completely align with the "acceptable" trans experience (as has already happened, by her saying that it was okay for Marten to answer honestly if someone asked) then Jeph will receive even more abuse, as if each and every trans person must be exactly the same.
And every flame, every complaint, every bit of condemnation, will begin with or include the word "cis".
This makes me incredibly, incredibly sad. For Jeph, and for everyone else.
And that is all I have to say.

He's gotten overwhelming amounts of support from the trans* community i've seen. Including myself. My comments earlier in the thread were directed at specific users, not jeph. He's handling this well. read his twitter, he's positively glowing with the response he's gotten.

Can I get in there with you. I promise I'll leave my Dick-broom outside.
I think I broke it anyway. No matter, it was useless to begin with.

You were already on the preapproved list.
You can't have any tinned peaches though.

--- Quote from: Mr. Doctor on 21 Nov 2012, 08:26 ---I know this citizenship thing is definitely not the same thing we are currently discussing but yeah... I've been living in Sweden for 7,5 years now. Got my citizenship 2 years ago, got a swedish pass, speak the language and feel integrated... If someone comes and tell me that I will never be swedish. I will get seriously mad.

--- Quote from: Blackjoker on 21 Nov 2012, 08:24 ---On a topic related to the comic and less to the current posting, why does Clinton seem to hate Marten so much?
--- End quote ---
I think it was touched on a couple pages ago maybe? Anyway Marten kicked Clinton out of his apartment the first time he met Hanners, daughter of his beloved idol Hannerdad. I think someone brought up jealousy of his and Hanner's closeness, too. Throw that on top of his natural protectiveness and you get "oh i guess you're not ALL bad then"
