Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT 2887-2891 (2-6 February 2015)
hedgie:
It's quite easy for Clinton to interfere, or maybe Amir thinks that Claire is Deathmøle's Yoko Ono, which messes with the band. There may be personality friction. It's far too soon to tell, and honestly, I'm happy to have a bit of a breather after the Faye meltdown.
Emperor Norton:
Apparently, not even in fiction are LGBT people allowed to have nice things.
Also, really, I can't be the only person who has seen the Marten and Claire strips as breathers. They are stuck in between a lot of other drama strips. If their relationship was super drama too, the whole comic would just be DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA GRIMDARK.

Has it ever been established if Claire had the surgery? I seem to remember her saying she did, but I"m not 100%.

Here's a better question... Should it matter? Why?
--- End quote ---
Wait, what?
It doesn't matter for us and the story. Claire is completely "allowed" in a narrative context to be private about this with respect to the audience. It doesn't matter to us at all. What matters is her relationship with Marten. We do not know Claire's surgical status, and I would be willing to bet you nearly any amount of money that we never will, which is fine.
But like, inside the story? Of course it matters. They've almost certainly had a conversation about this off-panel; like, of course they have, this is an intimate detail adults need to deal with. Lots and lots of people are not going to be sexually attracted to people whose genitals are in a certain configuration. That is entirely understandable and completely fine.
I can't tell which "should" you were referring to here -- the audience-related one or the story-related one.
--- End quote ---
I ask why, because do genitals really make you a man or a woman? Also, if she is post, does it make her less "trans"? To me, the answer is no—and therefore it does not matter what her plumbing looks like. We are more than our body parts (even beyond genitals).
--- End quote ---
Regardless of sex identification, body parts can play a major role in attraction. Someone attracted to men may not be attracted to fat men. Someone attracted to women may not be attracted to women with male features, especially such prominently male features such as male genitalia.
Granted, Martin was aware of this and is presumably aware of her pre/post op status, so he probably doesn't mind one way or another.

Guys... On discussion of private parts (sticky)
WareWolf:
Patience, my friends. There has been drama before. There will be drama again. Some story arcs begin with what looks like the protagonist getting their HAE (Happily Ever After) and then having that threatened--or worse, yanked away entirely. There are plenty of ways to threaten Claireten's happiness, but the happiness has to be established first.
Trust the Jeph. The Jeph is wise. The Jeph will lead us to good story.

This Marten doesn't have any of the flaws and rough edges that bounced off of Claire's rough edges and flaws so well. This is an AnthroPC Marten-Bot running "I AM A PERFECT BOYFRIEND.EXE" v. 2.0.
--- End quote ---
I think this is another thing we keep forgetting- Marten and Claire aren't boyfriend and girlfriend yet, are they? Its possible that Marten is on his best behavior because he wants to be Boyfriend.exe.
