BenRG:
Has it occurred to anyone that this is exactly what Jeph wants as an atmosphere in the comic right now? From his Tweets, I get the impression that he is in a particularly good place, relationship-wise right now. That happiness and optimism will inevitably be reflected in his work.
Be human, people. Let him enjoy it! :-)
Deadman:
I have never heard the word CIS used in a neutral or positive connotation I get the fact that Claire is not using it in a negative but the word itself is just.....
:meh:

I'm sincerely happy for Jeph if that's the case.
These comics still suck.
snarkyone:
DrClef, you make some very good points. But I make one to challenge all of what you said. Yet. Everything you said is something I think we all expect, but it hasn't happened yet. So in this regard, while many agree, patience is what is called for. Especially if you binge read the comic and are still somewhat new. You want more, we all do. Many relationships start out in that haze of surrealism and blinders. Why would this one would be any different? Give it time. I am sure there will be drama ahead. If you've read since the beginning, no upside is without it's down.

Okay:
* it's "cis", lowercase, not the Commonwealth of Independent States
* You haven't heard it used neutrally because you don't hang out with trans people in neutral contexts. My partner will refer to herself as cis when it's necessary to be clear about her gender history without a trace of self loathing, with basically the same cavalierness with which I call myself "trans". (click to show/hide)"Tranny" and "trap" and "shemale" and "cis scum" and "cishet" and "cissie" have the connotation of slurs because they are used in an exclusively condescending tone. "Cis" and "trans" are just shorthand for how people relate to their bodies.
