This page is brutal. Probably one of the heaviest things in this comic to date.
Obviously, what Aiken says is not only incorrect, but also deplorable. To my trans brothers and sisters: if someone ever says something like this to you, don’t even give them the time of day. These people are not worth your tears or your words. And to my cis friends: please, please, PLEASE just remember that genitalia doesn’t have anything to do with gender. Having a penis doesn’t necessarily make you a man. Having a vagina doesn’t necessarily make you a woman. Period.

By the way, how does Aiken feel about homosexual people? His negative reaction to trans-folk is mostly due to his own experience. However, that doesn't mean he has to hate the entire LGBT community.
Aiken, you really are just that stupid, aren't you?
You are 100% right. Gender has nothing to do with genitals. On a related note I have my first session with a therapist for a refferal for HRT on Feb 6th wish me luck.
That's wonderful news, hon! I hope all goes well. ^_^
I know that this page is strictly coincidental, but I recently had a fight with my 2 younger brothers.
I find this as an omen of sorts( the page) . I think. After the fight, it all got emotional. Plus, I've....had thoughts. Can you spare any advice.....please.... T.T
Just sittin there, minding my own business. And Matt comes and turns off the game.
Just saying.
*chuckle* okay, okay, trolling aside. I think that Rain is rather insecure with her gender (I would expect most trans people to be), and is grasping straws (as she did with "yay, I suck at math!") with playing girl character. That or she is trying to show some spine.
I hope its not "so much for Aiken not being thrown out because hes not provoking fights".
Of course, from his POV Ryan is the one who's provoking him. I hope he stayed so long here, because he genuinely wants to understand "why anyone would want to be trangendered". Come on people, communication never killed anyone! Probably.
And you are definitely wrong on one point (and I'm not saying only on one point), Aiken knows that he the provocateur. Fara pointed it out to him, and he still went ahead with making "Baby Bro".
If, as he told Rain, it's not that big of a deal, then why'd he do it? He was trying to provoke her, that's why.
Gavin gives a shit about his friend's feelings.
Aiken doesn't give a shit about Rain's.
Who decided to change their behavior to make another human more comfortable?
Aiken's of the breed that cares more about some old-fashioned ideal that got people killed and still does than his sister's emotional and mental health.
It's not hard to make others important to you more comfortable. Or even compromise. But Aiken insists on the opposite. Plus his FREELOADINGN ASS IS VISITING THEIR HOME
THEIR HOME
LERN 2 MANERS YOU OLD FOOL
OR, OR U COUL D GO IMPALE YURSELF ON WONDERBREAD
Shame he can't get past his recent trauma to at least accept his own sister.
