    I'm honestly at the point in my transition where boymoding isn't really possible anymore, but neither is passing, so I'm just kinda forced to choose how much of a honmoder I can stomach being.

    I don’t understand how honmoders can be so shameless and oblivious to the world around them lmfao. I swear, most honmoders must be at a Chris Chan level of autism to lack that much self awareness.

    that's why I'm no longer a girlmoder but I'm not a manmoder or boymoder either so I'm a honmoder neither man nor woman not even human
