Carl-E:
I think a trans* person at a gay wedding could teach a few things about tolerance, acceptance and respect.
Barmymoo:
I don't think being trans* automatically makes you more tolerant and respectful than the average. It is likely to make you acutely aware of a particular facet of intolerance and disrespect, but human beings are notoriously bad at extrapolating their specific experience to the general and treating others accordingly. Claire puts her foot in it quite a lot; being trans* has made her more female, not more sensitive.
Carl-E:
Good point - being more sensitive to your own issues may not make one more empathing about other's. However, I still don't think Claire'd be the one to cause problems / have misunderstandings at the wedding!
OK, maybe if Marten's mom shows up.
Mr_Rose:
Yeah, it'll turn out Claire's a fan too…
jwhouk:
Nah, that'd be WAY too trite (Claire being a fan of Marten's mom).
You do have to wonder, though, if Marten has told dad about the breakup.
