Here's a really wild thought that's going to melt a lot of heads: Wait and see what Jeph does with the comic.

That seems morbid.

edit -- Well, this makes a lot less sense after you corrected the typo.

DSL:
Yeah, I saw that just as I hit post.

I mean, the guy's been presented as a straight man (as in the archetype) and a straight man (as in the sexuality) for the entirety of the comic, and now he's suddenly down with dating a transgendered person[...]

True, and at the moment, Marten seems very comfortable with his sexuality, but it's not always been displayed that way. A few months prior, while he was still dating Dora, he was certainly not OK with dating a transgendered Person: http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=615
Even in jest, that's a very hurtful comment to make, and for Marten it's just been a few months (I've scanned AprilArcus' wonderful timeline, and as far as I can see, it's maybe 6+ months). This is not the only time he displayed discomfort with people who's visible gender might not always be the same: http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=457

Curiously, in http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=615 the relevant part for Marten is:
--- Quote ---No, see, the way my life works is you'd wait until after we had sex to tell me that. You know, let me get the full afterglow going before you shatter my mind.
--- End quote ---
For him, it is not knowing things beforehand what is wrong. He knew about Claire being trans, processed that fact with pancakes, and then he decided he still wanted to have a relationship. Or at least try.

Hello all,

I hope this is OK and not out of place in the WCDT, else would the mods be so kind as to move it to the "T"-thread. I also don´t know what the banmageddon was all about, but I will stick to what *I* see in the latest comic.

I personally think panel 3 gets as close as possible to answering "Teh Question That Must Not Be Asked"

Please, and this again goes for the mods and also people who read this forum and who I know have special sensitivity issues around this subject: I am not making a statement how things are supposed to be, or, behold, of right or wrong. I am just giving my personal opinion and reading of Claire´s expression in that panel which is, after all, part of the comic.
