curious how the sword handles non binary and trans people
does reduced damage against nbs and respects yhe transed gender (its a cursed sword not a bigoted one meow)
Should probably cut NBS just as well as men. The curse is to not cut women and they are not women.
woman and nb isnt mutually exclusive as far as ive seen so is variable amount of damagedependsing on howwoman the prrson thinks they are :3
Very true, the sword would have to pick a line to cut through the gender triangle.
Was going to suggest the sword might discern sex rather than gender, but we'd have a similar question of how the sword would classify intersex people.

Or the curse is that it can cut through 1000 men but not anyone else.
This, we need more samples (but please don't)
Imagine it a cursed sword of outing people, or a blessed sword of validation
That'd probably change the world forever. Besides, it would likely be hunted by all the people who want to destroy it.
i feel it would make most sense for it to go off of self-identity (that's more magical), and if that doesn't jive with the curse it's just a normal somewhat dull sword or maybe it passes straight through them like a ghost?
