Correct me if i'm wrong, but I have a general idea on how this is gonna "end."
Regardless of how Claire finds out, she has a major breakdown. We've seen her overreacting and we sorta know that she has gone thru changes to becoming female. Hormone treatments can cause some "unexpected" reactions from trans folks. All it takes is one little thing to set people off, and Marten might do something that triggers Claire, either unintentionally or intentionally.
I'm just speaking from what i've been told from people in the know (trans and people familiar with this) and experienced first hand (unintentionally AND unwillingly; I rather not explain for privacy sakes).

Wait, they have Bluetooth modules now? Dang... I thought I'd got a good bargain with that 56K modem implant ("Free, or nearest offer!").
Marten doesn't seem to be the sort of guy to hurt someone intentionally (skillet pans and stop signs notwithstanding), but nevertheless I do agree that their discussion can become a train wreck very quickly if it isn't handled carefully.

--- Quote from: DSL on 29 Mar 2013, 16:47 ---Back to the comic, my prediction (more accurately, my "how-I'd-do-it"):
(click to show/hide)Claire -- or better still, Clinton -- hears (because someone, maybe a certain off-panel skinny blonde, in CoD will slip) that Marten's been telling people about ... something ... that transpired between him and her. Claire -- or Clinton -- assumes it's her trans* revelation to Marten. (Wouldn't you?) Result: Pain, anger, drama, and the kind of humor that ensues from pain. Characters have the opportunity to grow and some do.
--- End quote ---
What would really happen...
(click to show/hide)No, she'd just quietly go away and never be seen again.
Barmymoo:
None of these predictions seem to bear any resemblence to the QC universe. We've never had the Shakespearean overhearing-and-misinterpreting situation. Marten asked his friends for advice and was told not to bother talking about it. I think he'll take that advice and this'll be the last we hear of it.
