Urgh. Plural pronouns for individual people suck grammatical balls.

How do you feel about xe/zhe?

'It' would just be rude. It's dehumanising.

Can we just do a Pyro and randomly alternate between male and female pronouns?

This wouldn't even be an issue in Spanish. Goddamn it, English.

Can we change the OWF rules, so it's Spanish-only now? It might help me, as I'm trying to learn the language

No, the "genderqueer" section in my book of snappy comebacks is disappointingly small.

I don't understand the qualms with using singular "they" when referring to one person.

It seems to be the default when discussing/referring to people you don't know the gender of.

Let's call him OANST, just so they will find it even more confusing. Eh, OANST?

Great job guys.

No, it’s a catch-all for anything not considered a “normal” gender identity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genderqueer

Which really makes me wonder what exactly Josh identifies as, since “non-binary” isn’t very specific.
Posted 06-07-2013 at 04:31 PM by Manco

Nate's Avatar
To add to what Manco said, there are no 'official' terms here, because we're talking about a very disparate group of people with no centralised organisation. Trying to get them to agree (so to speak) on one word would be impossible. Ultimately it comes down to what language always does; words are invented and if they work, they catch on.

Wait, seriously? Spanish doesn't have gendered pronouns? I thought everything was gendered in the romance languages.

How can you figure out what you identify as by looking at your crotch

I mean, it's not like it's sentient and can talk to you and tell you what you are it's just a crotch

never heard that before.
