Pride Month?
cmj:
I just now realized... Claire's shirt is the trans pride flag! Woo!!! :lol:
John Allenson:
And she looks good in it.
I wonder whether there are Robot specific Pride Flags in this world? Humans who date Robots. Robots who date Humans. Robots for Robots. Breadsexuals.

Given that other than the rainbow flag and the bi flag, most pride flags originated on the Internet in like, the past several years (seriously, I was astonished how new most are, and how quickly people set on specific ones)?
I'd say robots would definitely have their own pride flags. What with being able to access the Internet, potentially, basically by thinking. As opposed to humans who at the very least need a phone.

I really like how somewhere in the background Claire has gone from only being out to a few close friends to wearing a pride shirt at work. It's uplifting and makes sense for how her life is going (supportive friends, supportive boyfriend, and generally getting a bit more adult confidence as she moves out of her student phase).

Just going to add on that the trans flag is only around a year newer than the bi flag (and both are a couple decades out from the original rainbow flag). But yes, different pride flags have really multiplied. It can be hard to keep up!

This is a good observation. I hadn't really thought of it when I first saw the strip-- I was just like, nice, cool shirt. I also wonder how much is on a meta level. In the ten year (TEN YEARS?!) since Claire came out to Marten, society has become much more aware of trans people, and some parts have become pretty accepting. At the same time, it has not been ten years for Claire-- but it still makes sense in-universe, as you said.
