Being outed because of a small detail that didn't occur to her because she was excited about going out* with Marten is cheap drama?
*I mean this in the most general social sense possible.
Loki:
I am sorry, I did not mean it to come across as that. I meant that the implication was (I think) that he wouldn't do a "let's milk Claire's trans status for drama" story arc (then again, I may be misremembering).

No apology necessary, but thank you.
And true, but consider a few things:
-Jeph clearly stated that, when researching for Claire's backstory, he was horrified by the violence that trans people often face
-Clinton's pathological concern for Claire's safety has to have been a smoking gun of some kind.
-The gang is clearly at a townie bar outside of downtown, all of which in Northampton are like half roughneck/half hipster. The locals aren't always as friendly and welcoming and open-minded as that town as a whole takes pains to be.
To some extent (Claire' Ativan moment, her coming out to Marten and Emily in the first place) there's already been SOME drama about it.

It's nice to see her without her glasses again. IIRC it's been since the wedding, hasn't it?

I took her greeting to be full of nerves and directed more towards towards Marten
PS First post, sorry I have no shiny Firefly references to make it a good one
