Wait, who explained this to Claire?

That's the big advantage women have over men - emotional openness is encouraged and considered a positive personal trait. So she would have literally absorbed it almost by behavioural osmosis from her various role models.
Stoutfellow:
But during Claire's formative years, she would have been perceived, and presumably treated, as if she were male. When would she have received the cultural conditioning that a perceived-female does?
Kugai:
Her mother?
Welu:
It's only Clinton who said he wasn't taught this stuff. Claire hasn't she was or wasn't either. It's likely that a lot of same information was there for both of them, being siblings in the same household only a couple years apart in age, but they absorbed it in different amounts and ways because of their individual personalities.
Besides it's not like there's an actual book all DFAB people get handed at some point about emotions and communication. That would be amazing and I wish I would have gotten my copy.

A friend of mine went through a phase, shortly after realising this, where he would unburden himself every time he met an attractive female. It earned him quite a fair bit of positive attention.
He was being a bit Sven-like, and my attitude towards it was (come to think of it) a bit Dora-like.
Funny that I hadn't made that connection until just now.
