This Is Not Only Exorsexist, But Also Transmisic And Anti-GNC In General, But The Recent Ask About Spanish

this is not only exorsexist, but also transmisic and anti-GNC in general, but the recent ask about spanish reminded me of something.

i learned both french and spanish at school, both binary gendered to the point of gendering not only nouns but also adjectives. it was expected that the girls of the class would use feminine terms and the boys of the class would use masculine terms. if they used nonconforming terms, they would be corrected, which included losing points in tests. i never questioned this until i came out myself, but like... what about closeted transgender students who used "wrong" words to affirm themselves, what about people who uses these terms fluidly intentionally? what about girls who wanted to refer to themselves with masculine terms and boys wanting to refer to themselves with feminine terms? at that point, i had been referring to myself in german with mostly masculine terms except for pronouns and words like "male" or "boy". but of course no one picked up on that because girl using masculine terms is good and normal, but boy using feminine terms is bad and deviant.

later on, after i came out, there was a discussion with our spanish teacher about gender neutral language and all he proposed was -@ instead of -o/-a, and he did not understand when i asked if there was anything that could be pronounced, as from what i understand, the @ is meant for writing and not to be said out loud. my teacher insisted that was enough, which i guess does correspond to how people see nonbinary people.

fun thing about herding and/or generally neurotic breeds: they are really good at following rules you have instituted, but they will also make their own Dog Rules they will follow stringently whether or not you like it

It’s a store. From what I’ve seen, it’s primarily in the EU.

One of my favourite parts about autistic people is how you can use other peoples' reflections of them like an echolocation bullshit detector. Like they personally do not need to do shit for this to work, they just passively emit their own autistic vibe that bounces off every surface around them, and you can assess another person's level of self-awareness by how they reflect it back.

"Autistic people do not understand social hierarchy" nope, they understand you're supposed to be an authority here, but they won't politely pretend to respect you if they think you're incompetent.

"Autistic people do not understand humour" nope, they just don't politely pretend to laugh to humour you, and you are simply not funny.

"Autistic people are rude" nope, they just don't think it's polite to lie to you, and don't care about trying to tell you what they think you want to hear instead of telling you what they think.

"Autistic people sometimes have emotional meltdowns for absolutely no reason" nope, you're just insufferable to be around and the person with the lowest tolerance of your shit is simply the canary in the coal mine who breaks first.
