Just for those who may not be aware of the term, “drab” is how you might describe a transgendered person (including transsexuals, crossdressers, drag queens, etc.) that is presenting as their birth sex. For instance, if Rain is dressed as a boy, she is dressed in “drab”. My original idea had Ruby on this page too, but that took away from the “drab” theme.

Anyway, Chapter 11 and Chapter 12 were initially intended to just be one very long chapter (kinda like Chapter 6). Looking back, I’m not sure how I expected that last chapter to condense into like ten or so pages, but it managed to end up a whopping twenty-three altogether. THIS chapter is intended to be normal length now too. Let’s hope that doesn’t mean I have some absurdly long fifty page chapter coming here… but I guess we’ll see what happens. ^^;

(As a side note, I’m kinda miserable sick right now and haven’t drawn in days, which has led to me falling a fair bit behind how much I normally like to have ready. I’ll try not to allow any late updates, but if it comes to that, this is why.)

I'd never heard that term before. Thanks for the vocab.

Now I've got a new term to call what I've been living for the past few decades.

Same here. I always called it boy-drag, but I like Drab better.

Alternatively, it can mean Designated Rabbit At Birth xD

it's my understanding that 'drag' comes from Dressed As a Girl, and 'drab' comes from Dressed As a Boy

That seems to be a popular idea, but I can't actually find any hard evidence for it online. There's a lot of debate over the etymology of the term, actually, and several hypotheses, but as far as I can tell nobody with in-depth knowledge is claiming it started out as an acronym.
