Gnabberwocky:
I agree that Claire hasn't had too much development lately; I was just saying that being a trans character isn't her only role in the comic.

And that is a fair point. On the other hand, I also agree that the idea below would merely be a retread of the Faye/Angus story, and I can't think why that would be at all interesting.

Is it cold in here?:
I do respect Jeph's sensitivity about writing Claire but it may have limited what he could do.

Gnabberwocky:
I see what you mean. In terms of story based around her gender, there isn't much that can be done without making too big of a deal about it, but Claire can still do anything any other character could. Her fate is no more limited than Marten's or Faye's.

--- End quote ---

Only if she had no extra development. We know she has issues going into relationships so that could be explored, we could see Claire grappling with the issue of children (if she wants any that is), we could see how Marten deals with a trans woman after the honeymoon period wears off, hell we could see any number of storylines around this without labelling Claire trans only but instead it seems to be mostly about a theoretical relationship between Faye and Bubbles which could be interesting by why go down that route when you already have an interesting relationship to focus on
