    I think Ijuin is probably right; however it's also possible that you've emotionally let go of the Dad drive to make life perfect for your kid. Or at least accepted that you can't fix things - the reality, or his emotions, either one - for him.

    It worries me... because (a) some people have an overly-inclusive definition of "transgender" and (b) someone who is a borderline case, or who hasn't recognized their situation, could be seriously traumatized by suddenly finding themselves changing physical sex with no idea why or how it happened or how to consciously control it... As well as severely socially inconvenienced.

    Hope's reaction to Sam is interesting. I expect she recalls marking him as a her. I don't think she would have a problem with that, so she's just surprised by recognizing the change.

    I, on the contrary, suspect that she doesn't recall marking Sam. But she recognizes the mark as something she did, and sees why the spell she granted is particularly appropriate, and is having a "wow, neat idea!" moment.

    What she's missing is why Sam in particular, and not all the other trans people in town.

    Based on the number of uniforms given out, North is not a small school.  I assume that South is about the same size.  Also assuming that there are more than one counselors this would also indicate it's not a small school also https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2007-06-12
     

    My high school had just under 600 students, grades 7-12. It also had two counselors to help the students with the bureaucratic stuff, and a head janitor kids went to for advice.

    I notice that the out-of-power party is eager to declare that anything the in-power party wants to do is crap...

    ... and then when they regain power and could undo the "crap," they instead set about polishing it.

    Currently their stance seems to be that anyone who is not an outright authoritarian fascist is lurching uncontrollably to the left.

    And to listen to a lot of Democrats talk, anyone who isn't pushing substantially identical policies (sometimes with the pointy bit in a different group's chest) in the name of anti-fascism is lurching uncontrollably to the right.

    And I see leading Democrats treating all non-Democrats with a similar level of respect.

    (IMHO anyone willing to run for elective government office is a candidate for a mental-health facility. And those who, having done so once, want to do it again...)

    Well, I figure that there's a reason the voters who align with the Republicans don't align with the Democrats, and "we find their nominees to be unpalatably left-wing" would be a good reason.

    I haven't noticed a shortage of Democrats who accuse Republican nominees of being unpalatably right-wing... which would make a similar amount of sense for the same reason.

    That characteristic is found in a wide variety of fanatics. Including on the US political left. And certain varieties of several religions. And some folks who have recently revised their lifestyle to an allegedly-healthier theme. And...

    On Thursday's strip, I want to compliment Ashley on her self-awareness and honesty.

    And for Friday, a loud "no" to the wink-activated magic. People blink too much, usually without even being aware of it. But sometimes consciously deliberately, to clear something out of their eye.

    I've been dealing with a much smaller annoyance: trying to find a thermostat setting on a space heater that will cause it to produce heat at night when the temperature in here is 65 degrees, but won't cause the thing to produce heat during the day when it's nearly 80 degrees.
