What I said was statement about how Claire was previously viewed by the outside world. Unless she's always been presenting as female, which her statements seem to indicate was not the case, there was a time when the world would have assigned her the value of "young man" and treated her accordingly, with respect to unconscious bias.

If there's an objection to be made on the basis of technical inaccuracy or potential hate speech, I'm always open to hear it. Please refrain from telling me what I mean, or presuming to characterize my intent.

Yes, that's what I thought you meant.
I've found technical accuracy, even to the point of pedantry, helps me understand better what's going on with trans* people. Words like "presentation" and "assignment" are wonderful for minimizing confusion. When I call young Claire a woman, it helps me focus on the fact that what matters is her involuntary basic identity.
Confession: there's a bit of selfishness in my reply. I hope you can forgive it. If a trans person had taken offense, then I would have had to put on the mod hat and break up an unnecessary fight, when I'd rather overanalyze the comic instead.
Gladstone:
"Kind of a thing now."
I guess it's a bit early to say they're dating or in a relationship, but c'mon, Marten, can't you be a bit more clear than that? Although I guess "We're a couple" or "we're together now" would also imply a deeper commitment than what they have yet. Goddamn English, how does it work?
