So, you'd find it "unremarkable" if say, Marten had relationships with an AnthroPC? To others, this relationship is remarkable to them, but the way the storyline has progressed, people are kinda wondering when some of the bits and pieces will fall into place to help them feel sympathetic to the couple.
Neko_Ali:
Now you are comparing trans women to non humans? The ice is getting very very thin.
Personally for myself, I would not bat an eye at an android/human romance. Because for me romance and love is not about physical parts, but emotional attraction. Whatever else they may be, AnthroPCs are self aware, emotional, intelligent beings. They have shown compassion, friendship, a desire for companionship and even love towards other AIs and humans. I can possibly be said that Station is in love with Hannelore. They certainly have a deep friendship and abiding affection for one another.

Within the context of the QC universe, yes. Machines are people, too. At least they are, there. While I understand the real world POV that they are non-human, that's not the situation that obtains in Jeph's world.
Also, gotta call fail. You buttressed (heh heh. he said "buttressed.") your argument by suggesting something odd about having a string of cis relationships. Indeed your whole point, such as it was, was constructed on the idea that a string of cis relationships is proof of something. However, it proves exactly nothing. The string of cis relationships is unremarkable. The trans relationship is also unremarkable, but for different reasons that have been explained to you multiple times and in some detail.
I'm just pointing out that your current argument makes no sense, which is kind of outting you.

I wouldn't bat an eye at a human/android romance either, but I'm not sure that Station and Hanners would be the first example I'd reach for. Maybe it's just me, but there seemed to be an uncomfortably incestuous undercurrent to that part of that arc.
I agree with the rest of what you're saying, though. Especially that first bit.

@Cesariojpn - Please, quit while you're behind, it looks like everyone is about to lap you.
You seem to have a particular bugbear about Claire for the past few months and frankly, it's getting boring and repetitive.
(click to show/hide)Here are some nuts and bolts
And have some steel beams
And use them to build a bridge
And for the sake of everyone's sanity, get over it.
