13-10-10 What was that?

The orb is not Yin-Yang shaped any longer, mabe a way of showing that there are a extra 'girl' on school. Twiggit seems to have noticed this.

And now, Blair will be punished by being fed to Cujo.

You know as much as I feel sorry for Ace, I can't help but feel that he could have easily avoided this.

Howdy all! First-time poster here!!!

One thing interesting I noticed throughout the story arc is that people who changed genders started acting like their new gender. Actually, that was an important part of the humor in some of the strips.

I’m not sure how many of you here know about the neurophysiology connected with gender-identity disorder, but scientists have concluded that (a) male and female brains are neurologically and physically different in very distinct ways, and (b) people who experience gender-identity disorder appear to actually have a mismatch between their brain’s gender and their outward body’s gender. Not only is their brain incorrectly “wired” for their hormones, but their biological clock is all set for the wrong type of body, and even their self-identity regarding how their body should be physically (its size, for example) is often skewed. Think about how you would feel if you woke up tomorrow with your current self-identity but in the body of a squirrel, and you might get an idea of how you might feel that your new body is just plain “wrong” according to how your mind pictures it should be.

I’ve got a couple of friends who identify as male even though their outward body is female, and a friend who is mentally female although her body is outwardly male. I was talking with them once, and one said how cool it would be if they could find a magic object that would transform them into the opposite gender. We took the topic to its logical conclusion, however, and decided that it wouldn’t make things any better for my friends, because the ones who have male brains in female bodies would just become people with female brains in male bodies, and vice versa.

Soooo … I don’t think we should pity Gr(Ace) really, because (a) she’s probably now fully has a female mind in her female body, and (b) she seems to be accepting it enough that she’s getting rather comfortable with Kade on the school lawns. Gr(Ace) was also pretty darn happy that her hands were less-than-furry, and she’s rather attractive in other ways as well. She seems to have rather quickly gotten over the shock of changing gender, so I have a feeling it’s all settled into her system rather well by now. And chances are, her body is already pumping out female hormones, soooo …

Again, I should stress that Gr(Ace) is NOT a boy in a girl’s body – she’s now a girl in a girl’s body. I have a feeling that, as things are right now, if Gr(Ace) were presented with the opportunity to transform back into a boy – she would be horrified. She is fully a girl now in every way, and it’s likely that her life will be better as a result.

By the way, I loved the ending to everything. You guys rock!!!

Enjoy!!!

Is it me, or did that seem... anticlimactic? D:

As soon as Chloe saved the day, I knew GrAce would pay for it somehow.

I can't wait to see what the future holds for her.

Cheer up, Blair. There's this cute new girl on campus (named Grr-Ace). I'm sure you'll like her. Just stay away from her when it's a full moon, OK? Why? Well, think Cujo. Now think of a giant, angry, snapping Cujo. You get the idea.

[Border Prince]

I knew this would happen to Ace the instant he got zapped.

Well Blair Fan. Your idea of a fully werewolf Ace ripping Blair to pieces seems to be a suitable punishment . Cujo can have the leftovers...

[WCRI]

Hey, Ace, Nina wants her clothes back!
And where did he get that fan?

I believe you answered yourself before you asked your question. Nina's clothes... now the real question is, why does Nina have a fan?

@Aquila89: Well Kade does go to this school, and is usually a big fan of cute girls...

Girl werewolf...that might be something to stay away from, what with there being 2 dangerous times of the month.

Don't you know lupine biology? Wolves only come into estrus once a year ... ;)

[TakerFoxx]

And knowing their luck, both will happen at the exact same time.

[BrianX]

Well, one thing's for sure, we'll find out sooner or later whether Nina just thought they were friends or had a thing for Ace...

Just a thought... shouldn't Ace change her name to Dorothy? (Runs before anyone gets the joke)

[Tenjen]

you not the man now, Dog!

[SAGG]

I'm curious about what'll happen between Layla and Melissa. Can you say "awkward" from now on when they occasionally eye each other in the hallways between changing classes?
