C: I’m going to be in town for a little while.
WREN: Yeah?
C: Yeah. I, uh, I had kind of a rough semester. I need to be amongst friends for a little while.
WREN: Oh.
WREN: Look, I know things are weird with us, but if you ever want to talk about whatever it is, I’m here for you, Candice.
C: Thank you. And - it’s Charlie.
WREN: Who’s Charlie?
C: Me. It’s what I go by now.
WREN: Oh.
C: That’s a lot of the rough stuff that’s been going on.
WREN: Oh.
C: So... how bad are you freaking out?
WREN: Um. I just can’t sentences my word good right now.
I’m not as shocked as Wren, but again I haven’t been intimate with Candice/Charlie either. My reaction is like, “OK, cool.”
Also, I don’t have twitter so I can’t talk to your friend CNStoker. But if I could, I’d say that both Houston or Austin would be good fits for her, Austin even more so!
Aww… *hugs Charlie*
I have to say, when you used “C” instead of “Candice” in the last transcripts I wondered…so yay for being right.
Although I know Charlie needs support right now, Wren’s word-confusion is just perfect!
I really like this story arc as well. I always love meeting a new trans character. I hope Charlie isn’t having it too rough and that Wren gets her act together in the next strip. Maybe Maria and Charlie will get a chance to talk. Also, do we know what pronouns Charlie prefers?
A twist!

(In other words…I really <3 this story arc.)

I’m glad Charlie’s going to be sticking around for a while.
I have to admit, my initial reaction would be “Oh.” I just hope my next line would be “Want to talk about it?”
I remember running into an ex on the bus at our college, some time after I’d come out as trans.
She smiled at me and said, “So, I hear you’re a boy now.”
Good times. Good times.
