--- Quote from: Near Lurker on 09 Apr 2018, 00:44 ---If she started transitioning during her first year of college, she couldn't have been going to Smith then, since it's an all-girl school. She might have transferred during her undergraduate course, but more likely she got in as a grad.

She may have started transitioning during her first year, but she never said when she started identifying as female. So it's very possible that she did, in fact, begin attending Smif immediately after high school.

For those who are wondering, here is the current real-life Smith College policy on admission of transgender students: https://www.smith.edu/about-smith/diversity/gender-identity-expression
In summary, Smith currently allows applicants to self-report their gender.
So as long as Claire identified as female when she applied, she could have been admitted, at least under the current rules (I understand that this policy was recently changed, within the last few years, from a much less trans-friendly policy.)

I don't think he's ever revealed it, but I have no doubt that Jeph knows her full name - possibly even her maiden name. I know several artists who cannot even begin to develop a character until they know what the character's name is.

I recall Jeph saying somewhere that he keeps a continuity book with bios of each character and that some of that information never makes it into the strip. I'll be dipped in chocolate cake batter if I can remember where I read it, though. (Don't even THINK it, Pintsize!)

I'm no author, but I've found that the name is always the last thing I do when creating a D&D || Pathfinder character, and even then, it tends to get shortened into a nickname.

It is, of course, well known that careless talk costs lives. But the full scale of the problem is not always appreciated. You realize that because you said "Don't even THINK it," that means that Pintsize already has. Not only has he already thought it, but he's probably already come up with several possible scenarios for making it happen, and for what he'll do to you when it does. But hey, at least you didn't touch off a millennia-long interstellar battle somewhere.
