I do recall Jeph asking if there were any transexuals at Smif.

Yarin:

--- Quote from: UmberGryphon on 18 Nov 2012, 21:28 ---I am not that wise in what "trans" means.  I think that Claire is saying that she's biologically male, but mentally/spiritually female, and wishes to be treated as a female.  Am I understanding things correctly?  Googling was involved.

Transgender is something of a catch-all term, describing different types of gender variant issues (including transsexual people). In this case, we only know that Claire is "trans", but assuming she's a transgender woman, it could mean that she is a woman who was assigned as a boy as birth, identifies as a woman, but doesn't want the surgery. If she was transsexual, that would mean that she had the operation to align her body to her identity.

I would have to agree this is what should be assumed until elaborated on.

It is also rather nice Jeph for this to do this, he can enlighten some of us out there (like myself) who are rather ignorant of transsexuals due to lack of exposure and public attention.

This is so true, and most of the representations of trans people in media aren't that great, its nice to see good depictions of people like me
