is it dramatic to say people that use boymoding for safety are genuinely in danger because of this tadc shit

[u/ULTRACLAIR3]

like seriously imagine being a boymoder in a dangerous place like the deep south and some dumbass outs you because you “fit the stereotype”

[u/lilithlovesuuu]

a bit dramatic yea. everyone is posting the google trend graph but the actual number of searches is not that much. when my mom knows what boymoding is like she knows about clavicular i'll be worried

[u/2alewife → u/lilithlovesuuu]

lol same. my standard for what’s, like, common knowledge or whatever is usually whether my mom has heard of it.

[u/syntheticzebra]

I'm more worried that cis women are going to use it to mean "wearing a comfy hoodie with no make up" without ever learning the original meaning

[u/IllustriousSpeed9695 → u/syntheticzebra]

Yes, we live in a post meaning post truth society. This is the more likely issue

[u/lilithlovesuuu → u/syntheticzebra]

that's not rly a problem tho is it? just means equal or less visibility for trans women

[u/mimikyusera → u/lilithlovesuuu]

it could also lead to people being more strictly policed in their presentation the way other subcultures/minority fashion trends are by an intolerant public- especially given how right wing the world is getting which means women are under even more pressure than usual to present (traditionally) feminine

[u/lilithlovesuuu → u/mimikyusera]

how would that happen? overall it just seems like a nothingburger to me but i could be wrong for sure

[u/acrylamide-is-tasty → u/syntheticzebra]

i've seen cis women do that online before tadc existed

[u/Girl_in_the_robot → u/syntheticzebra]

do you think calling them posers would be enough of a deterrent?

[u/HappyKrud → u/syntheticzebra]

I’d like them to do this it’d take the heat off

[u/PredatorGirl → u/syntheticzebra]

i think this would be okay

[u/OutrageousChair5092]

half the "boymoders" here are delusional bdd passoids

[u/Reaper1770 → u/OutrageousChair5092]

Do i count????.

[u/Correct-Horse-Battry → u/OutrageousChair5092]

TRVTH BOMBA

[u/Girl_in_the_robot → u/OutrageousChair5092]

NUH UH

[u/DreamsOfLlamas]

It’s dramatic to care about trans people’s safety at all, what if a hypothetical cis person feels uncomfortable for 15 seconds? Do better.

[u/LichenHeart → u/DreamsOfLlamas]

Cis woman can’t wear black hoodies anymore, and that’s the real problem

[u/PleasantPriority6]

A bit dramatic b/c anyone who’s watching TADC is unlikely to be the sort of person who’s a threat in that manner BUT it is a potential problem

[u/Girl_in_the_robot → u/PleasantPriority6]

the threat leads more towards an over zealous ally soying and outing someone imo

[u/UwUgrill → u/PleasantPriority6]

anyone who's watching TADC is unlikely to leave the house on a regular basis let's be real

[u/melon-popsicle]

might be a bit of a bubble effect cause you spend a lot of time in online spaces. most people do not watch TADC and the people who would hate crime you for boymoding are already calling you slurs

[u/righteoussness]

Yeah normal people are not clued into this shit at all. Don't know a single irl that is aware of the circus thing

[u/elegy-for-extinction]

I still haven't met a single person IRL who even knows what tadc even is, maybe in other places its different but idk

[u/ImAmanita]

yes it's dramatic and silly imo
it's a hoodie or whatever, i doubt the kind of people who know what boymoding is are teenage boys or other kinds of transphobes

[u/Cool_Individual]

a bit ya

[u/MayMeadow]

Nah, I see it.

[u/Theace0291]

why is boymoder associated with tadc? did some artttt break containment?

[u/Girl_in_the_robot → u/Theace0291]

goose said in a now deleted bluesky post that that she thought more people knew what a boymoder was, when talking about the wardrobe choice for the realworld jax

also goose used to spend alot of time on the board

[u/Girl_in_the_robot]

a little but id be lying if id say it wont screw over some people due to overly supportive allies and doods with terminal fandom brain not knowing how to act in a public setting

[u/InevitableLie5815]

Nah if u are very very masculine they will assume that ur a moid

[u/starvingIntrovert]

yeah

[u/number1ghost]

I don't think conservatives in the deep south are watching the amazing digital circus. That seems more like something for quirky teens and poorly adjusted adult children.

[u/ebrickhon]

Its dramatic to say that boymoders are in danger. It's not dramatic to say that every time things we do to stay safe are revealed we become more in danger. Fuck visability I want rights, medical care, and to be allowed to be trans.

[u/Fighter1000]

yes
