Is it cold in here?:
I wish you hadn't reminded me of the joke you just reminded me of. It's one that just might gross out Yelling Bird.
Marten may have had some hangups in high school.

Claire is indeed transsexual. A Trans woman. A trans, not so much, that's an unfortunate turn of phrase that may reasonably be seen as dehumanising.
On the other hand, to criticise someone for saying that, unless it's done in the mildest, gentlest and most diplomatic terms, would be even worse.
Oddly, "a transgender" isn't seen as too bad, though again, "a transgender girl" is preferred. "A girl" is better still.

I fail to see how the core tenet applies. What sort of barbarian do you take her for?

Drag-queens ≠ Transgender people..

Yeah, I elected to not include a bit on it. It's really more of a grammatical thing. It's an adjective, so it's either "X is black" or "X is a black person", whilst people would look oddly at "X is a black". Just took it as a quirk of typing.
TheEvilDog:
Careful Dora, Tai might associate your boobs with projectile vomiting. Or possibly a strong sense of regret.
celticgeek:
Well, Tai seems upset by all of this.
