HON

>Where does that word even come from?
late transitioners stereotypically refer to people as 'hon' (this is most commonly attached to the denizens of susan's place, but happens pretty much everywhere -- and is also done by the wives, sisters, etc of said late transitioners, it's a cultural thing)
it's so intense i've even seen late-transitioning overly feminine trans men call people 'hon'
>Do people outside of /lgbt/ use it?
no
>How many people outside of /lgbt/ would even understand what I mean when I'd talk about someone looking like a "hon"?
none

It's also the fact that they don't look like women, and have no self-awareness whatsoever.

>I went shopping and everyone was so nice to me. I never got called he once!
>posts most gaudy pic ever
>That bridal gown you wore to run errands looks amazing, hon!
>Thank you, sweetie! We'll have to meet up again while the wives are gone. Hugs and kisses, Barbara.

I was talking to a therapist who specializes in transgender stuff and I told her I was scared to be a hon and she didn't know what that was so I'm pretty sure its just an internet thing.

topkek you meme'd in real life to your therapist
Hon is pretty much a 4chan-only thing, even on places like reddit if they knew what you meant by it they'd get pretty butthurt about it

>>7714100
fucking feminists...

anyway its just an exclusive 4chan word. People on susans use it but not for the same definition. few people know it outside from here like on reddit and susans or other trans places.

Hon is short for Honey and it started in the Baltimore, MD area in the mid 20th century and was used mostly by middle-aged waitresses so it became associated with kitschy, tacky modes of dress, speech and appearance.
John Waters brought it into the mainstream in some of his movies and trannies picked it up to refer to each other.
It has come to mean unattractive, un-passing and even ugly but it more accurately refers to flashy, garish, gaudy, graceless, glitzy, inferior, junky, passé, outmoded, low-grade, second-rate, sleazy, shoddy, tawdry or unbecoming styles of dress.

HonFest is an annual festival held in the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland, U.S. HonFest takes its name from the word "hon", short for "honey", a term of endearment and greeting often used in "Baltimorese".[citation needed] The festival began in 1994 as a local celebration of the Baltimorese lifestyle and stereotype, and has become one of the most visited festivals in Baltimore. The summer festival originally started as a one day event, but it became two days starting in 2007, and is held on a Saturday and Sunday. The festival holds a contest in which people dress up as a Baltimore "hon" in a 1960s-style beehive hairdo and sunglasses and other over-stylized clothes and makeup, such as, bright eye shadow, spandex pants, and leopard print clothing, and the winner is crowned "Miss Hon".[1]

>tfw the attention whore in me wants to participate and win but the tranny part of me who's desperate for acceptance wouldn't want to be crowned a hon

I've never seen anything positive out of a post that uses "hon" unironically, so I imagine it's a 4chan thing.

/lgbt/ should attend the honfest together
