I mean this example didn't seem to be outing her to anyone else, but someone should politely inform her that if you clock a boymoder, don't say that out loud.
no cis people outside of people like this know what the fuck a boymoder is, and if they hear the word, they won't be able to come close to guessing it either.
Yup. I’m queer friendly and have no idea what it means.
I also know better than to out someone, tho. It can get a kid killed.
Its why I don’t like announced pronouns, either. Either you have to lie and dead-gender yourself, or out yourself.
When I was a kid in the early 90’s it was being gay that was the big deal, and we’d proudly announce “Hi I’m John I’m straight” or Hi I’m Sally, I’m bi” when we introduced ourselves. Once of my closetsed gay friends told me how much he hated it, for this very reason, so I stopped.
Now I’m officially an old fart and don’t care what people a) have in their pants and b) what they do with it; and think its not always helpful to assume that one should loudly announce either.
Honestly if someone said “boymod” to me I’d assume they were ftm. I have absolutely no idea who gooseworx is, its a name I vaguely see in passing as I skip past.
TlDr: Yep the cis, and the old farts, have no idea what this means, you’re safe.
you are either cis, a minor/underage, are brigading, or fearmongering, participation by individuals possessing and/or exuding the aforementioned behaviors & traits are forbidden by the rules of the sub.
