Hi

Hello jammi!

Okies!

@@kae41 have a nice day as well

interesting. I'm from Germany I thought that "you" is the equivalent of the German polite direct singular "Sie" address and all people address each other politely, so to speak, and that in English-speaking countries there is no personal address like in German with "Du" address. "Sie" is also the plural form and 2.form feminine singular and therefore unfortunately not suitable as pronouns for talking about non-binary people in Germany.

@@askialuna7717 yeah, in modern English we only have one second-person pronoun. "You" is used for singular, plural, subject, object, and any other use I might have forgotten. It's one of the many things that makes it difficult for native English speakers to learn other languages.

@@ronoli9733 it's only awkward because you're not used to it.

@@askialuna7717 Do you know what is used for enbi/genderfluid pronouns in German?

@@ronoli9733 it’s awkward for y o u

I feel like the way to answer is "precisely."

Although people still mostly refer to God as he 😩

My agender self: SCREEEEEEE

genderless means "no gender", non-binary means "gender in-between boy and girl", and enby means "non-binary person"

Non-binary just means a gender outside of the gender binary, i.e, someone that isn't either male or female. Which includes agender people. Surprising how it tells you that on the tin, isn't it?

Good for you, sir!

this makes me cry with joy

also my parents are not the kind to kick their own children out of the house. they care about us and my mother would probably be the most accepting out of all of them

YES i use he/her but its not like i care which one people use more lmao. Just pick one of the two. In fact its even more confusing for me if people refer to me as both because im like “wait who u talking bout?” And realise they mean me 🗿

Hey, same for me. Well, not the inconsistency - I really don't care. Which lead to most people just assuming "he", because of, well, the beard. He/she/they/it, I don't care, I'm ME. That's all that's important to me.

Have you heard of cassgender? Cassgender is where one feels like their gender is unimportant and doesn’t matter. They dont care about figuring it out.

@@adrian_the_alien That's interesting. I haven't heard of that. As I think about gender right now, I'm not genderless, I very much exist in a knowable gender identity, but what that identity is beyond gender-fluid. The best name for what my gender "is" has been something along the lines of Schrödinger's Gender, at all moments, my gender is and isn't in all possible states, until directly observed (someone asks), then it all collapses into a single state.

hey the original comment is from 9 months ago so im kinda late but i think you might wanna look into what agender is! i am agender and how youre describing how you feel sounds like it would fit that label :) of course, this doesnt mean you are agender (only you can really know haha) and its totally ok if you dont wanna use a label. but if you do wanna use one, i recommend looking into that

If you can’t be described by someone’s limited concept of human terms, then become god.

@꧁Ash Rouge꧂ I guess you're a demigod

Ah another “random” person

I wonder why most Christians refer to God as ‘He’...

@@LittleBulleteye Male is still the default gender today; when people hear the word "person", most of them automatically picture a (white, cis, able-bodied, adult) male. Also, the bible uses male pronouns quite often to refer to God. Probably because it was the default gender back then, too. Referring to God as having a gender is part of other anthropomorphic language used to describe God. Others are for example referring to God's hands or mouth. Anthropomorphic means that you describe non-human entities in terms of human attributes. Anthropos = human; morphe = form

Sameeeee

@@chrissyxx21 oh gosh 💙

My gym teacher would split the class up like that to, but then the guys would play against each other and the girls would play against each other. Ot sucked for my friend group, since my non-athletic male friends had to play with the competitive guys (and never got included) and one of my friends had to play in the wrong group (she transitioned after we graduated). I always felt out of place (I’ve since realized that I’m non binary). It also sucked as someone who liked playing sports, because the girls group didn’t really care about playing. I prefered it when the teams were mixed gendered, although usually the competitive guys wouldn’t include anybody else (and there usually had to be a certain number of girls playing at once)

Yo yall are legends

My homeroom teacher likes to do that. She’ll split us up into “girl” and “boy” lines. I would just stand in the middle cuz where do I go? My spanish teacher does it to (ig its cuz spanish has so much gendered language there isnt any allowing for non-binary folk

Bruh

Hearing these examples of teachers who line their students up by supposed binary gender just had me going "....but why??" Until I realised maybe it's some kind of thing to prevent potential flirting or harassment? Do they think that having mixed gender teams means all the members are gonna start hitting on each other? 😕 Yikes.

Genderfluid ppl: "Both. Both is good"

Hi kevinnnn

Aw it's so amazing when that happens. My brother had some problems adjusting to my new name and pronouns. But one day he was talking over Discord and I started talking too. The people on call asked who that was and my brother said: "that's my sibling they just walked in the room" and I was so happy.

That happened once and I basically melted with happiness in front everyone

Whenever I correct my friend when she misgenders me and calls me a girl ( I'm they/it ) she gives me the stink eye 😫

Had a waiter call me "sir" when asking if I needed anything else. Brightened my day and I still smile at the memory. No one "corrected" them, but also we were eating and they walked away letting the moment pass. So thank you random wait-staff that unknowingly directed me towards self-discovery.

But I don't get that. How can that be allowed? If you're not allowed to use the wrong pronouns then how can you use they or them? If you have a man then you'd use he. As such, you wouldn't use they. So if you do refer to him as they then surely you've mispronouned him.

@@xinpingdonohoe3978 It’s quite complicated, but I was newer to the community when I wrote this. Just ask if you don’t know.

@@xinpingdonohoe3978 If you use gendered pronouns without confirming which ones, there’s a risk that you’ll be using pronouns that are outright wrong, whereas neutral pronouns are just less specific than they could have been. For example, I go by she/her, so referring to me as “they/them” is fine whereas referring to me as “he/him” is just plain wrong.

@@ragnkja so you are a they/them person as well as a she/her person, right?

@@xinpingdonohoe3978 I’ve only ever gone by feminine pronouns, but I have no problem with neutral ones being applied to me. Masculine, on the other hand, is outright misgendering.

I think the whole written gendering in French is a huge hassle but worthwhile... I keep avoiding gendering in German by using the "occupational passive" whenever applicable but it's becoming more natural.

As an NB person living in France and struggles to even feel like a legit NB person because I just can’t be bothered teaching people how to completely and radically transform the French language... I love this so much.

@@Ulriquinho i’m french and i completely understand. our language is very very gendered but there’s a new word that people are using now to refer to enby people. “iel” which is a mix of “il” (him) and “elle” (her). i still feel like there should be a whole other word tho because it kinda feels like it’s referring to enby people as both boys and girls when that’s not the case, but yeah that’s where french is at :(

@@tree4110 yeah and I am half French and I am a native speaker (born in the US). So I am familiar with it. This gets extra complicated too when you add gendering all of the adjectives too. I envy the Spanish solution of use E instead of A or O endings. But the feminine marker in French involves just pronouncing the consonant at the end of the word, so there is no simple solution there. Like sure in writing I can say, iel est content-E. But like you can’t pronounce that.

Some ideas: -height (taller/smaller than x) - winter/fall vs spring/summer birthday - pasta vs pizza eaters - shirt colour - pick from a prepared deck of cards: red vs black - cat vs dog lovers - likes vs hates coriander (cilantro) - can vs can't roll their tongue - born on a day with even vs odd number - one or no siblings vs two or more - pet owners vs non-pet owners Prepare these suggestions and more ideas as cards and let your teachers pick one (lottery). Some of these ideas are best done with closed eyes (if it's about your preferences), so students don't look around for their bestie's choices. They can put up their right hand for choice A and their left for choice B. If you (and/or a classmates) prepare, maintain and build up the system and have it ready when your teachers need them, they'll be much more inclined to use them. What they want is a quick and convenient method of splitting groups. It's actually a fun system and you learn more about your fellow students and what you might have in common with them. It's easy to adapt for more than two groups (4: Summer-Spring-Fall-Winter). It's fun to collect more and more ideas.

I think the food preferences thing is better IMO

I remember someone who uses multiple pronouns shaming other trans/non binary people for wanting others to use all their pronoun sets instead of just one. They were claiming that it was too hard and confusing, and that it was rude and inconsiderate for multi pronoun people expect that curtesy. They also were pronoun shaming; they called neo/alternative pronouns, “those stupid neo pronouns.” I’m saying all this to say that I appreciate your respect for people’s pronouns.

Oh @Vimppu, language is for _communication._

THIS. YES. i will use multiple pronouns in one sentence, for the same three reasons as you listed.

@@John_Weiss Exactly, in this case it is communicating someone's gender identity.

@@creativedesignation7880 Then just state, "Zed's gender identity is …" instead of playing silly linguistic games with pronouns. Now, if Zed's gender-identity does not make it clear which 3rd person pronouns are appropriate, then telling us what pronouns Zed goes by communicates Zed's gender identity. If Zed tells me, "I'm really fluid, so just pick whatever 3rd-person pronoun makes sense for how I've been presenting lately," that communicates: "I don't want my variability to get in the way of the conversation." If Ted then comes along and insists on using *every* 3rd-person pronoun at random, then Ted: (1) is saying, "I think Zed's identity is confusing b.s. so I'm gonna consider everyone until they agree with me"; (2) is virtue-signaling that he's better than us because he's using All of Teh Pronouns; (3) is intentionally trying to create confusion for confusion's sake, which is childish; (4) is trying to hijack the conversation to make it all about him by using Zed's gender-identity to create chaos; (5) any combination of the above. The end-result is that I no longer want to discuss Zed and I never again want to interact with Ted because he's a childish jerk. Pronouns are not *solely* a gender-identity. Pronouns are a shorthand-reference to previously-discussed nouns or topics, meant to speed up communication, and used in languages that lack verb-endings or particle-words that accomplish the same back-referencing. If you use pronouns randomly, you are making it impossibly to determine what you're referring back to, thereby making the pronouns useless and rendering the conversation pointless.
