Doc:
I love people mutilating themselves.
Everybody should get piercings.

BenRG:
I'm wondering if Marten and Claire are going to have a heated disagreement at the end of which, Marten's anger will switch off like a light. He'll say: "I just wanted to make sure that you knew what you were doing and not just about to do something because it sounded cool!" Then he'll say that he's fine with whatever choice she makes. I know that sounds wishy-washy, but it does sound like the sort of position he'd take.

Alternately, maybe Claire will suddenly stop arguing, get all coy and tell Marten that she just wanted a reaction from him. Then she'll lean close and whisper something in his ear (Jeph will just draw some dots and scribbles) but, from Marten's reaction (and, maybe something she later says to Tai) Claire offered a piercing... somewhere else, if he is into that sort of thing (reader imagination allowed to do all the work). If she does mention it to Tai, it may be in a 'mission accomplished' sort of way whilst blushing like the nervous young woman she is that indicates it was a dare of some sort.

Naturally there is nothing wrong with it, but if we're comparing extremism in body mods...

Not alone, I'm sure. But she didn't "change sex", just transitioned so appearance matched reality.
This isn't some philosophical or PC issue, more of a "little known fact". You know, like marine biologists knowing that Clownfish *do* change sex, or those working with Bose-Einstein condensates knowing that two physical objects can occupy the same space under some circumstances.

As an aside - I'm not (technically) Trans, but close enough. I transitioned. The "point of no return" for me was deciding to.... get my ears pierced. Pierced ears were incompatible with the kind of male appearance I'd had for 45 years. It was quite literally the same decision as to get genital reconstruction to a female configuration. (I didn't have tto decide to transition as such, that was gonna happen anyway due to 3BHSD syndrome).

As for Claire and septum piercing - her decision, not mine. I wouldn't though, and I think if she did do it, she'd regret it and let it close up. But as she's a character in a comic strip, not a g/f., talking about decisions and regrets is engaging in the shared fantasy.

Which for a septum piercing takes a very short time. I got one in college, had it for a couple days but took it out because I couldn't sleep, knowing it would close up (and it did by morning).

snubnose:
IMHO she should mostly stay away from EXPLOSIONS.

Motorcycles should be okay, though.
