Gladstone:
Gosh, how dare Marten grow and change and mature as a person, and adapt as he learns new information about himself and others. It just ain't right.
swapna:
He may. I was just pointing out why coming to the conclusion that he did completely change his mind without outside indication is a little out of character.

It's possible to over-interpret that moment. In any case, to me, Claire was worried that a drunk Marten and a drunk Faye might do something stupid in a moment of loneliness when their defences were weak. I'm pretty sure that is why she went back to the apartment with them - to act as a chaperone. She never expected that the person Marten was going to try to seduce was her! Of course, in her defence, I'm not even sure Marten knew that at that point.

Really, that was just a laddish quip, offered on the spur of the moment when ignorant. However, he now knows a trans* and that naturally should be expected to have altered his perceptions on the whole issue, especially as he's clearly been wrestling with an affection for her since the Post-Wedding Snuggle.

Actually, that's pretty much a summary of what Jeph's screed was about.

Well it is all popular now. That's why I'm anti-trans, that way no one can accuse me of being trendy.
