--- Quote from: candlejack on 18 Apr 2013, 23:51 ---Claire is a confusing little puzzle. Calm down, I'm not hating on her or anything, she is pretty awesome. I know that she came out as a trans but I'm not sure if she means transgendered or transexual?

What Zoe said, but also: She is both, but which you use is opt-in (and different outside the Anglosphere). Even some who are transitioning will opt to use Transgender either from preferring it or to avoid stupid stigmas. Such as some people viewing the "sexual" as not meaning "the sexes" or literally just using it as a synonym for "Whore"*. Some will reject Transgender from being associated with things like Crossdressing, which is completely unrelated, but generally under the umbrella.
I probably prefer Transgender myself, despite both being on hormone replacement and living in a country where the word "Gender" doesn't exist. :psyduck:
*I can't speak to its veracity, but another girl told me that in Italy they even use it to mean GAY MALE WHORE, so that's certainly an association I can understand wanting to avoid.

[Unrelated to Candlejack]
Uhm, Zoe, that can be said for literally any social injustice throughout history. Most hateful people are "tragically misinformed". I'd say it depends entirely on how they act. People aren't not-assholes just because they think of themselves as good, or because the groups they're bad towards are sufficiently marginalized by society.
That doesn't mean they can't change, of course. Like I said in some other COMIC-discussion I'm on pretty decent terms with some former bullies. They were still assholes. :roll:

Same here, I was very confused when suddenly Mieville was there.

Wait, is Dora now a "Lipstick Lesbian?" This strip confuses me.

She's very much bi-sexual...As evidenced by the fact we know that she's maybe only been with 1 or two other girls previously before Tai.
My head tells me this is Jeph trolling again and Dora is just having some fun-o watching the porno and the kitty-kat made her feel guilty.
After all, Tai is never gonna be interested in dudes. Just curious what Tai would say if she knew Dora liked the yaoi like Marbear does. :-P
Ah so one reason I never thought Tai and Dora were right or made sense comes up. It may not be anything other than Dora increasingly missing being with men that breaks em up.
I mean, I think Dora will always like the male population. Especially if her counseling has begun to fix her trust issues with men. She may have...cravings.
Ok, I'll stop now.
