AAAnd HERE is where suspension of disbelief goes out the window. Why does he need a woman name until he lifts the curse? Wouldn’t he PREFER to announce to all they pass that he is a man temporally shifted by this wizard they’re dragging around in chains? What if one of them had prepared remove curse that day?
why would you kill someone for being cursed by someone else, that makes no sense.
also, women being scantily clad also doesn’t fly in a medieval world (Ever hear of nuns?), and there’s no magic in a medieval world, so there’s no reason he couldn’t still identify as a male except the author didn’t want to allow it in this setting.
as an actual real life transman, I have to say this comic isn’t thrilling me so far with its depiction. so far the humor largely seems to rely on things that really aren’t terribly funny to women or transmen… ‘hahaha, people named tiffany are stuck up, blondes are bimbos, hahaha, a transman with A GIRLY name, hahaha’
That’s not really humor so much as pointing at someone and laughing at them for existing. ‘haha u have blonde hair’ and similar humor is not a funny joke, honestly.

mmm maybe because being cursed by an evil wizard can get you killed in this world?
also, “I look like a woman and even have the chromosomes but I totes identify as male” doesn’t fly in a mediaeval / barbarian planet.
