Rain
Comic 741 - Clocking
Author Notes:
In other words, it doesn't matter if Debbie or Holly or any of their other classmates can't specifically identify her as a trans woman or aren't implying that she's male. In fact, it's unlikely that anyone in that school would even come to that conclusion without personal experience pertaining to trans issues (ie, knowing someone who's trans, being trans themselves). And that's especially the case given that it's so ingrained in their minds that Rain is female by this point. But even if they don't actually consider her to be male, they see something in Rain's appearance that brings words like "boyish" to mind. Even if they're not wittingly clocking her, or even trying to insult her, simply speaking their minds proves to be just as harsh
And Rain is right. Arguing too much may draw attention. If she starts demanding that she's not a boy when no one technically said she was, that may very well raise suspicion. As we know, she's a tough kid. Rain can get through this. But it's going to require her to be more careful than before.

Nope. It's an accident. ^^;
Although, "sh" doesn't tend to have much of a pitch to it so I could probably get away with that. I'll fix it in a little bit though. Thanks for catching. :)
However, Holly wishes Rain all the best, it's a form of smartness! ^^
I went home this weekend and Mom insisted on cutting my hair. It's so short I keep rubbing the back of my head. It feels weird. And here I thought I had seen the last of her home barbering in the kitchen. Its quite the operation. She started doing it to us when she found this home set of barber clippers at a yard sale, still new in their 1980's packaging.
