2025 July 15, anonymous author, “/mmg/ - manmoder general”, in 4chan[1], /lgbt/:I would rather be a biological female and have to manmode for life (or boymode I guess), be socially male rather than be a crossdresser or honmoder
2024 April 2, anonymous author, “/mmg/ - manmoder general”, in 4chan[2], /lgbt/:>i've never seen a manmoder
that's the general idea yeah. if you recognized they were trans they'd be a honmoder not a manmoder
2021 December 11, anonymous author, 4chan[3], /lgbt/: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.
2021 November 20, u/Throwamay6, “Stop repmoding, start honmoding today!”, in Reddit[4], r/4tran: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.
2022 January 20, lil kawaii naz/bol/, “mtfg”, in 4chan[5], /lgbt/: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
