Is it cold in here?:
In public with strangers might seem safer to Clinton than being alone with a relative unknown.

Claire may have figured out that Marten is about as dangerous as a stuffed manatee on codeine.

"People are still people" -- yes, but they won't be when they hear this sound that's been glowing in the dark at the edge of town.

Unless she used fairy-magic.

Maybe... she tricked us!  :-o

I really don't see Claire's response as having anything to do with slut shaming. Rather, the physical danger that trans people face on a regular basis. I thankfully haven't had to deal with anything stronger than verbal insults and disgusted looks yet. But the fact remains that even in 'safe' areas, trans people get attacked, even murdered for nothing more than being trans. Knowing that risk is an important part to deciding to transition, in my mind. And especially knowing how to guard yourself against it. It's not something I've ever forgotten and likely never will. And I always take steps to make sure I'm safe (like not getting drunk among strangers).

yup, definitely gone for good. Shame.

It could be just playing with the artstyle rather than a actual haircut so it could pop up again.

I like the new look though. Looks a bit messier, but in a cute way, and it frames her face nicely.

katsmeat:
My take on Clinton's attitude is that he's fine with having a sister, it's just he's not managed to adjust to being the brother of a sister.  Floating around somewhere in his brain is the notion that women "need to be protected" and it's his duty to be the white knight. 

She's acutely aware of the vulnerabilities inherent in being trans. So I can see her being glad of his backup, yet sometimes exasperated by him being overprotective. After all, she is older and  has a couple more years of experience of the world; all things being equal, she is slightly better able to look after herself than he is.  Cue frequent bust-ups - I bet the time  they were first seen together (2277) was right in the middle of one.

Presumably if Claire was to start seeing somebody seriously, the danger would be that Clinton would slip into full-blown Victorian patriarch mode and storm off to confront the person, to demand to know if their "intentions were honourable."
