When Susie sees Panthera, she notices faer boobs and assumes Calvin has transitioned to being a girl.
Panthera explains the band name which doesn’t fit Susie’s assumption so she remarks “But… you’re a girl!”, hoping to get an explanation.
Panthera in typical Panthera/Calvin fashion doesn’t give a clear answer but a flippant “What gave you that idea?” which Susie interprets as a no.
Being accustomed to binary genders, Susie sees only one other option and tries to confirm “Then you’re still [a boy]?” but gets cut off.
Now, Susie is completely confused and apparently can’t think of a third option besides male and female. In her confusion she circles back to the one thing she can be sure about: the person in front of her has boobs. She asks about that.
Panthera still doesn’t give a clear answer to what fae identifies as, prompting Susie to spell it out: “Well, what do I call you then?”
When presented with the business card, Susie accepts the name and pronouns but still struggles with the concept.
So in short: Susie is familiar with the concept transgender people but still thinks in binary genders and can’t quite get her head around Panthera being non-binary. Hope that helps.
So you got the part from the first strip that boobs aren’t just for girls and dfyx just explained to you what the still what meant (as in “still a boy” “nah”) but then you just dismiss that and say you don’t care about the gender. Why?
Because their response doesn’t add anything. From the above conversation it’s above obvious that I’ve only explained my thought process, how I came to the conclusion that a word “them” in 1st panel likely doesn’t refer to men, and that my guess is that it refers to a word “trans”. I am asking for confirmation or different options.
My subject of question has from the start been what does a word “them” refer to, not their gender identity.
I don’t care about their gender. I was confused about meaning behind their sentences.
Okay, let me break it down step by step.

“GUYS are stupid, I’m not one of THEM anymore.” it’s been explained to you in this thread and in the comic. but you dismiss the explanation
