Now I'm going back to the reinforced bunker.

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.

Think of it in this context, which are less potentially insulting in the following: Are you gay or normal vs are you gay or hetero; are you trans or normal vs are you trans or cis. There needs to be some terminology other than normal vs 'deviant' or 'other' and all the inherent problems therein, and cis is actually appropriate for this purpose.

I'd just like to point out that "normal" is a quite valid word to use, based solely on statistics. There's something similar with regard to autism spectrum disorders—it's PC to refer to non-autistic people as "neurotypical." Looking clinically at a population sample, "normal" and "typical" should mean the same thing. The fact that people behave as if they don't is an effect of context and mental associations.
The problem, then, is that people logically associate "normal" with its antonym "abnormal" (so far so good), and then associate "abnormal" with "bad" (major issues here). Language is strange.

I can't think of anyone in the comic who doesn't like Marten. I think it'd be neat to have someone who would rather not be around him.

I always thought Penelope didn't much care for Marten. But then you could probably read that from her interactions with several other characters who aren't Wil, so maybe she's just a little ornery in general. :-D

To be honest, I don't think Penelope and Marten have really had that much contact. They have friends (or in Penelope's case, work colleagues) in common, but if Marten went to the coffee shop, then more than likely Faye, Dora or Hanners would serve him, because they're his friends. Penelope might have gone to the apartment, but that would be more like work friends or friends of friends and not really talking to the people you aren't really familiar with.
IDMG:
Clinton, you're good people.
