Incidentally, Rain has been crying significantly less frequently since starting hormone therapy. ^_^
I feel like this one is otherwise a pretty straightforward page, but I like this one a lot. Rain and Emily haven't had much time to themselves in this chapter so they haven't been acting too couple-like, but just seeing them being all cute and happy in this quiet moment is certainly welcome.
Yep, now that her brain is running on the correct hormonal fuel, she's finally starting to feel normal. The same thing happened to me. Before hormones, I was a helpless pushover who'd completely break down over controversy and confrontations. Now that my brain is thoroughly fueled on estradiol if somebody wants to start crap with me, they might quickly find out they messed with the wrong bitch.
I don't remember any of rest of the details of it, but I recall having a conversation where someone said something similar to what Rain said in panel 2, but they were more down about it.
I suggested that it sounded like, apart from this one night, they were really getting a handle on life, and since the event of that night wasn't going to ever repeat, they'd be able to put it behind them.
I had thought to say this to encourage them and help them chear up. Somehow, I was cast as the horrible villainous cis white guy who didn't understand, but the cheering up happened, so I consider that a win regardless. How they thought of me wasn't on my priority list, and I'm only mentioning it as a word of caution to anyone who might think my advice sounds good.
Though as I'm thinking about it, it was probably a more optimistic situation for them, because they weren't about to face a graduation ceremony they'd need to deadname themselves into, either... Poor Rain. :/
I’ve been going by my old name for the past few months, while I am out of country and I’m about to be getting back to the states next week! I definitely don’t regret my travels, but needless to say I am real ready to get back to my life
I wish I had someone like that in my life to support me...
