Wonderful!
Clinton's reaction may have nothing to do with Marten in particular. It's consistent with a life experience of Claire usually getting hostile reactions. He may just expect the worst of anyone who finds out. This could even be subtle artistry where Jeph is communicating the life experience of trans people encountering hostility without changing his lighthearted tone by showing hostility on screen.
Claire has a supportive family!
I have some thoughts about the meaning of whether someone is "really" "male" or "female" which will go in Discuss, where they belong.

Indigo's experiences are as real as sunrise but since my reading says that "cis" was developed deliberately as a neutral term and it's apparently not being used as an insult in our space, it will be treated as OK.

Rainforce:
Sixteen pages.
Sixteen god damn pages.
I read them all.
I must say I haven't expected the whole discussion to last this long, but I guess it's a good thing that all the lurkers including me crawled out from under our rocks and posted mostly useful/noteworthy stuff.
This is pretty much the most "mature" forum I've ever been to. yay : D
Also regarding todays comic, I didn't know Clinton thought that bad of marten. Real surprise there.

--- Quote from: ink slinger on 21 Nov 2012, 09:03 ---The fact that Clinton apparently harbours some hatred and/or resentment toward Marten (possibly for Hanners-related reasons, as previously stated in this thread) is very amusing to me, though I'm not entirely sure why.

He might be a bit sore about this...http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1909

Yeah, I got that. I meant that I'm not sure why the idea of Clinton disliking Marten amuses me as much as it does.
--- Quote from: bhtooefr on 21 Nov 2012, 09:07 ---Also, ink slinger, somewhere there's an option to disable those warnings if they're getting too annoying.
--- End quote ---
I think maybe you're thinking I said something that I didn't. I don't recall complaining about warnings (and just checked my last few posts to make sure I'm not losing it).
Astroasis:
Whew! I'm just relieved that Jeph's FIRMLY putting the whole "sibling rivalry" / "trans-issues" theory to rest. I saw a bunch of people saying, "Oh, this explains this comment" or "Oh, this explains the tension between them" And I... wasn't seeing it. Their relationship seemed like a completely healthy sibling love/hate thing... and the fact that it came across SO normally kind of hinted that Clinton is A-OK with Claire's gender status. I read absolutely no hostility, discomfort or anything of the kind in their interactions - aside from the usual stuff you see in any close siblings.
And I'll say it again, just for good measure - THEY'RE NOT TWINS XD This cannot be said enough.
For what it's worth, I think the only "normal" thing in the world is abnormality. We all have something, somewhere in our psyches or physiques that is... different. We all rage at the world. We all rage at each other. Really, we're all flawed, imperfect creatures and none of us is more imperfect or less normal than any of the rest of us. We all have our... things. Some are external. Some are internal. But we all feel them, in our own ways.
More words. I need to shut up now XD Time for a nap.

Marten is just too cute. I doubt he actually does anything to get his coffee back either.
