--- Quote from: Loki on 24 Jan 2013, 11:48 ---I will give you the "unethical" point, but the way I see it, the latter post does not imply that he would be unwilling to get in the sack with a trans woman. I think it's just him going along with the "trans women who used to be men are a turn off" clichee/joke. (And outside the universe, I suspect Jeph might have forgotten about the comment anyway).

Yeah, way easy to dig up stuff from the past in either case. Just look at the dishonest quote-mining a lot of religious/ideological people do of the already-dead-so-can't-argue-anymore who lost their faith at a later point in their life. Besides, it's not like people don't change from actually knowing others rather than just as an abstract concept. I know of a guy who was full on "All homos should be in death camps" in his own words prior to watching the movie Philadelphia of all things and is now totally fine with LGBT people.
Is it cold in here?:
Welcome, new people!
Claire is high-strung and focused on her career. She probably finds Dora more to be admired than Marten just on a non-sexual level.
EDIT: Here's another probably irrelevant thing from the past: http://www.questionablecontent.net/1300.

Shows just how little Marten knew! :roll:

Regarding Marten and trans people, I'm pretty sure the point of his comment was that it would be a hard thing to learn directly and specifically after sex with the trans person in question, not a comment on trans people in general or the possibility of having a relationship with one.
Regarding Claire, Martens luck, and Steves shoulders, I think she's just acknowledging that both Dora and Steve are very attractive without any subtext regarding her own inclinations or her opinion of Marten (except his shoulders).
Question: what was Claire's original name? Her brother is Clinton, so I'm going to guess 'Carl,' just so I can imagine Clinton saying "CARRRRRRL!"

Myeah, although that isn't really a thing that happens to any noteworthy extent. Immoral if you think they'd object (and if you don't: no point in hiding) and a quick way to become part of the sizable statistic of murdered transwomen if it's the.. less-than-stable sort of person.

Maybe she didn't change a thing. ;) "The name was traditionally considered male, specifically when spelled Clair; however, it is now commonly used as a female name and is usually spelled Claire."
