First two panels sum up a lot of my early transition. I didn't often get misgendered to my face. But more times than I care to admit, I've walked by somebody who says to their buddy, "Was that a dude?" But they only wait until my back is to them... not until I'm actually out of earshot. Maybe they're trying to be tactful (you know, in their own completely stupid way) because they're at least whispering... but they're still not subtle. Fortunately, I've also heard a fair few instances where their buddies say, "What are you talking about, fool? She's a girl!" XD
It's not a common occurence for me anymore, but it's happened to me enough over the years to add to Rain's experience. So to any cis friends and allies reading this: if you've followed this comic up to now, I'm sure you already know better. But if you happen to clock someone - whether they be a friend, acquaintance, or stranger - please please PLEASE just keep it to yourself. There's really no reason to talk about it unless they themselves come out to you and say they're okay discussing it with you. Any other time, it's just really rude and has the potential to hurt them.

Getting back to the page though, I should probably also just ask what you think is going through Drew's head here. And Gavin's too while we're at it, as he proves himself to be a stunning conversationalist on this page.

User comments:
I think Drew's trying to see if Rain is really boyish from the back. He questions his orientation, so I guess he could ask himself "do I find a boyish girl attractive?". I don't know if he understands Ky(lie), so he could just think (s)he is a really, really boyish girl. If he thinks Rain's attractive as well, he just likes boyish girls, which is totally straight.
He could also ask himself "do I like boyish girls more than girly ones?", and if the answer is "yes", assume he's gay/bi.
Gavin's probably thinking "hey, I'm the only one who don't hate all the school". ~
You mean, when Rain's saying she hates everyone in the school at her lunch table? None of the boys criticizing her are in earshot when she does that. They're not even in the same room (based on wall coloring) by that point.
But he also knows she's a lesbian, so he might be thinking about the "short hair = lesbian" trope.
To clarify, this is just commenting in general not specifically to Rain's case.
Drew... The worst case is that he's onto Rain, but a more interesting case may be that he thinks Rain is just like Kylie, and might be wanting to experiment with being a guy...
As fo Gavin yeah I agree must be a text from Ana
Everyone:
People not there, but in the school, that Rain probably likes
Ana or Fara and brother Quenton
Emily??
