--- Quote from: Aegir on 20 Feb 2015, 08:50 ---I completely disagree with this article. She doesn't believe that transwomen are real women.
--- End quote ---
Anyone that uses phrases like "Women born women" and argues that a word which describes people who aren't trans is somehow offensive, as if dark is bad description for the absence of light; is nothing more than a twatwaffle not worthy of your time, respect, or patience in the first place.

thank you. *hugs*

--- Quote from: BenRG on 19 Feb 2015, 23:22 ---Here is a conundrum for you. How can you tell if a person who normally is weird is acting weird? Is it "bluer than usual today"? Or "she's acting normal... that's weird!" In Emily's case, the answer is, of course, "grapefruit".
This may just be me but I'm sensing a trajectory here to these three strips that, to a greater or lesser extent, allude to Claire's trans status. I'm thinking that she's going to be outed to someone by mistake or someone will guess, Marten or Emily will confirm and, either way, there will be an awkward morning at the library. I'm thinking Tai who may, unintentionally, push boundaries tactlessly in an attempt to appear accepting. Tai then possibly sets off a chain reaction by talking to Dora without permission.
--- Quote from: Half Empty Coffee Cup on 19 Feb 2015, 23:18 ---Actually, I could see Dora saying something rude upon being told what's up.
--- End quote ---
Yes, Dora may have a specific issue regarding Marten dating a trans-woman, no matter how non-serious the issue seemed to me at the time. We all know Dora has a reserve of insecurity and, even though Marten was kidding, Dora might still remember and fret on whether it was a cause of problems between them.

Re: degrees of normal: It's not that difficult, at least if you know someone, to be able to tell when something's off. Whether they want to discuss what's going on is something else again.
2324: the discussion after Claire comes out to Marten. I don't think that the "outing" itself needs to be problematic (provided someone doesn't say something utterly idiotic). At any rate, their first conversation was, in part, "Well, I'm not that out, but if anybody asks..."
Speaking of Emily and Claire: How ironic would it be if the problem didn't end up Claire being inadvertently outed, but Emily letting something slip on her "date" with Clinton? Especially since (as far as we know) Clinton doesn't know that Emily "knows," and there's any number of misunderstandings that could arise from that, some leaving Marten's trachea in varying states of disrepair.
Re: Dora... I doubt if she'd think much of it, one way or the other. She thought he was vanilla, and as far as we know, he's still every bit as vanilla as he was before.
