for someone who can speak a language that lacks gendered pronouns, this “hysteria” over he/she/they is ridiculous!
Well on the contrary you should understand it more. A gendered pronoun carries an idea of gender, and having a genderless pronoun frees the sentence of this gender assumption. Nothing very hard to understand.
that’s what i thought i meant but thanks for the lesson I’ve never needed
even your comment is, for me, coming from that ridiculous tension
As someone who speaks a language with gendered pronouns but no neutral option, this is very awkward to deal with.
yes, it’s awkward for the “individual” who is longing for reliable expression
it also seems to be awkward for people who can’t figure out the changes in the language they think as their own. They are irritated by their “disfigured” reflection
it’s awkward for officials who need to make decisions (positive or negative) about the use of “inclusive” language
we give shape to languages and languages shape us
English could initially have neutral pronouns and people would be obliged to find other reasons to hate each other 🤷
