>in the midst of trying to take offense
Global Moderator Comment In general, and this advice is for everybody, I recommend against making it a first guess that someone is just looking for something to complain about. Always listen first. Then listen again more carefully. It's not guaranteed but there's a great chance the person is telling you something you didn't already know.

If you want to praise Marten for his relationship with Claire and how he's dealt with her medical history, there's plenty of good material. The way he listened when she first confided in him and his being a gentleman after the awkward snuggle are both good things, for example. He has in fact been good to her and good for her.

Global Moderator Comment The forum rules about this came to be after the moderators did substantial reading and research. As far as I'm concerned a trans woman is "born female". Anyone who feels the need to dispute that needs to show evidence of a specialized postgraduate education in neuroanatomy and has to know more than ZoeB does about biology. No such person has ever visited here.

But he is the most prominent example in the comic now.

You're right, but honestly, I was comparing him to myself, not to other characters in the comic. :-D
I think it's generally easier for most of us to deal with issues where we have more emotional distance and perspective, no? Even medical doctors are better off when they don't try to self-diagnose.

As I don't really have anything further to add to the trans discussion, here's a picture of a baked potato disguising itself as a guinea pig.

I gathered that, but I just decided to go with Marten alone, because honestly I haven't seen your life in comic-form :-P
