Dr_pepper_spray,

My pronouns are He, He, He.

Gerula,

Just grow the fuck up already!

Gamey,

Jokes aside, they/them is fucking convinient and I use it all the time in english, I wish German had a equivalent!

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

i use entity

Ikelton,

But that’s a noun…

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

meh whatever

menemen, (edited )

Learn turkish. We only have one pronoun (two if you count the plural). Also, no gender in job titles (or anything else).

Chickenstalker,

Or most Austronesian languages

fosforus,

Dwight D. Schrute: Perhaps y’all should just learn Finnish. No gender pronouns.

Astroturfed,

I suddenly want to move to Sweden. Or just anywhere we don’t need to have arguments about minor language aspects constantly.

fosforus,

Sweden’s primary language is Swedish, which does have gendered pronouns.

Comment105,

they have hen

which nobody uses

afraid_of_zombies,

Just 90 ways to say “with”

bastion,

Nice.

Comment105,

Wiz wit is non-optional in Finland, but there are 90 different ways to have wiz wit it.

What about “that” or even “that thing” when you want to be fancy.

bastion,

My pronouns are that/it.

Engywuck,

My vote is with for them/they.

Neon,

i vote for “it” makes it unified for everything, ties it neatly up.

bastion,

It/that.

Then you have the Japanese that just refer to everyone by name and only use pronouns when you don’t know the person’s name

SocialMediaRefugee, (edited )

Refer to people as “it” if you want to sound like a serial killer. “It puts the lotion on its skin…”

Raxiel,

But what if you just want to know what it’s got in its filthy pocketses, precious?

tslnox,

It puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again.

I just call everyone dude.

“Hey, dude.”

“Wassup, dude?”

“My dudes!”

“Dude’s crazy!”

dlok,

There’s people who don’t like dude being used as unisex

Sunfoil,

Those people should stay in their homes and off the internet, so no one has to see them or speak to them.

eupraxia,

Or, y’know, if someone asks me not to call em dude, I just do my best not to. It’s a bit simpler

Cabrio,

Can’t help people who take offence when none is given. People need to stop taking what isn’t theirs.

People need to stop taking what isn’t theirs.

I’m going to be referring to people taking offense to things like that or being offended for another group of people as “stealing offense” now.

@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

It’s such a great way to put it too.

bastion,

Why is your name so extra?

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

Because I’m dope as shit. 😎

dlok,

For sure the only convincing argument is when they asked if I fuck dudes… that made me think haha

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

Well, those dudes suck.

Ubermeisters,

Nobody’s asking the elephants how they feel about it

This is how the neutral gender in latin, got absorbed into the male gender in most romance languages.

afraid_of_zombies,

Doesnt German have a gender neutral form just in case you can’t remember what imaginary sex organs “Pizza” has?

bastion,

My pizza has whatever kind if imaginary sex organs I want, thank you very much.

afraid_of_zombies,

They aren’t dudes.

Forester,

Some people have never seen Good Burger and it shows

Kowowow,

Me with a bad case of dwarf brain where everyone is he/him unless obvious or told otherwise

I’m 100% down for normalizing ‘it’

Duamerthrax,

I see you have an MBA.
