I’m not exactly sure what I just read, and I love that!
The lord/lady is either trans or nonbinary, and the peasant doesn’t know what that is
It’s less that I’m confused about what’s happening on a surface level (though some of that is indeed a bit unclear with all that fake-old timey speak), and more that I’m confused what the OP actually wants to express with this story. Like, is this pro trans or anti-trans?
Sorry for replying a week later, but I highly suspect anyone familiar with the terms “boymode” and “male fail” is likely an ally or trans themselves. You’d really only be familiar with those if you frequent trans spaces.
