Gender sense[edit]
Spotted today: "mage" / "MaGe" / MAGE" = "marginalized gender(s)" (women and non-binary people and trans men), as in (example from the web) "people of MaGe", and "mages" / "MaGes" / "MAGEs" = "marginalized genders" or sometimes "people of marginalized genders". Earliest use on twitter I spotted was January 2019. I'm not adding it because I can't find any durable citations, but mention it here for the record / for anyone who is as perplexed as I was when I first saw people talking about "black mages". - -sche (discuss) 05:27, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
