  Weird year to die of plague

    Imagine dying of plague before it was cool.

    You can die of the plague today. It wasn’t constrained by dates, big flare ups in society happened and they were the ones that went down in history books, but people died of the disease outside those years too.

      I didn’t say that’s not possible, I said that’s weird, just like dying of plague today would be.

      They’re referring to the bubonic plague (aka the Black Death) which didn’t arrive in Europe until the 14th century. And yes, we would habe heard of it before then because it was highly contagious.

  I’m not familiar with modern slang. Boy/girlmode, is that when someone is pretending to be their original gender or when they’re trying to put themselves fully in their gender mindspace?

    Moding, be it boy or girl, is presenting as that gender, regardless of internal gender.

    As an example, a trans woman may sometimes choose to present masculine for whatever reason. That would be boymode.

    However, a trans man choosing to present masculine is also boymode.

    Obviously, it would follow that non binary people or gender fluid people would also be able to choose to present masculine and thus go boymode.

    The then exists as an expression of presentation, regardless of birth assigned gender, or genital/gonad configuration at the time of moding.

    I’m cishet male, and could girlmode if I so choose, as the term does exist within that frame of reference as well, albeit rarely. It isn’t even about passing; my giant bearded self could still girlmode, and it would be an accurate usage of the term still.

    That’s actually part of what the greentext implies; the Lord of that realm isn’t passing, but is still boymoding, and his subjects respect that once they’re made aware of it.

    That all being said, it is rarer to see the term used when presenting as your affirmed gender. It would typically only be used when presenting as your assigned gender. It’s also unusual to see it happen once someone is well into transition as there’s less and less point in moding assigned gender.

    The caveat in that is that it is a slang term. It may not be used exactly the same everywhere, or even reliably so in the same locale. I’ve known people that reject it applying to anyone that’s cis, as it isn’t the same thing for a cis person to present as a different gender than their assigned one. There’s a totally separate set of social mores around it, and that does matter. It’s also fairly rare for cis folks to present as other than their cis gender, and it wouldn’t be for the same reasons. But I have heard and seen it used in that context, so I included it here to be thorough.

      Would cis male drag queens would an example of girl moding by a cis person?

      I’ve used the term, but never really considered it’s edges, if you know what I mean

      In the greentext itself I got quite confused with the multiple pronouns and terms. I’m still not sure if it’s meant to be a trans women who’s saying that they are out in their assigned gender, or just a trans men.

      My confusion comes from the fact that they seemed to appreciate being called “ladyship” but then mention they are in boymode.

      Thanks for the comprehensive lesson. Not living in an English-speaking country, I was utterly confused.
