Why? Because Claire is a trans woman, and there's not much she doesn't know about feeling like you've got the wrong body.

* Faye's relationship with Bubbles struck some people as being a bit unexpected. But in the beginning of the strip, Faye is by her own admission not ready to be in a relationship with anyone. All her friendships are with people who can put up with her snarking. Rather than deal with her feelings, she drinks too much. She has relationships with Sven and then Angus, but in both cases it's based almost entirely on mutual sexual attraction ''and little else''. She isn't even sure she likes Sven, while Angus has totally different ambitions in life and is willing to put them before anything else. But when she meets Bubbles, Faye has stopped drinking. She starts out working in the same place as her, and finds her fascinating and impressive; then she wants Bubbles to be happier and works hard to introduce her to more friends; then Bubbles starts to value Faye's friendship; then they're ''best'' friends; then they start a business together, and only ''after'' a months-long process of spending basically all their time in each other's company and never getting tired of each other, does it dawn on them that they actually love each other.[[note]]Even then, it's implied that Bubbles was attracted to Faye for a long time and was afraid to act on her feelings because she didn't know how Faye would take it. Faye's total shock at realising that she loves Bubbles is because she's very, very good at avoiding feeling what she feels.[[/note]]

How many AIs lost their jobs because of that and were they actually all combatants or were non-combatants also ejected? Apparently it doesn't matter what those AIs want or that their jobless now and that the only life most of them knew was in the military.
