Thanks. It's OT, but I asked because a favorite book of mine is translated from Japanese. Originally published in 2002, the book has a prominent character who is of indeterminate gender for a portion of the book (ultimately, a woman who mostly presents as male and is considered by the main character, both before and after the revelation of gender, as male). This is dealt with pretty artfully in the English translation, and I was curious about how it might have been conveyed in its original language.Japanese has no gendered third person pronouns or adjectives (edit: i mean grammatically gendered, I can't think of anything now but there also might be adjectives you use exclusively for men/women...) etc. and you can also talk about someone without confirming their sex. But there are different "I"s depending on whether you are male or female. Now, obviously anyone can use whichever they like, but nobody will actually think a woman is a man just because she uses the masculine "I". People will probably think she is a weirdo or a lesbian. Another thing is gendered speech particles, for example ending a sentence in "wa", which is predominantly used by women. Basically that is how people gender themselves, there are other examples, which is how you make yourself sound more girly or more manly.
Very weird how gay men are more likely to be pedos than straight men
Why do idiots complain about gender in the English language when English has done everything it could to make itself more gender neutral/simplified? It got rid of the neuter gender and for the most part, the noun case system is gone. Most nouns are gender neutral. The word American is not inherently male or female. Neither is an engineer or chef or teacher. Even with words like actor/actress, "actor" can still apply to both. It's not like French. Hell, English is one of the only languages I see where many originally male/female names constantly become gender neutral (i.e - Sidney, Riley, Ariel, Cameron, Tracy, Robin, Jordan, Kim, Parker, etc).Nick Fletcher is an MP who had said preferred pronouns, and neopronouns were pointless, and there are only male and female pronouns.
I don't agree with the conclusion, I would think it would be an impossibliy to rid English of gendered pronouns.

If they really wanted to rub people's faces in it, the question would have been "what gender are trans women?"Giving a reality-based answer redirects to this madness

It's funny that these are the same people that will scream cultural appropriation at any white person, and yet here they are using words and symbols from another culture.Not to the extent you describe. Japanese eventually acquired a feminine third-person pronoun (彼女), apparently due to Western influence, and the existing genderless third-person pronoun (彼) by implication became masculine. It's still possible to talk about someone and never mention his or her sex by dropping the redundant subject (just the verb makes for a complete sentence), saying "that person", "self", the name, but it may get conspicuous after a while.
First-person speech, as @Der weiße Teufel said, is hyper gendered in the sense of norms and expectations (how to refer to oneself and the other party and which grammatical constructs to use depending on your relationship to the other party in the context of the situation), but breaking those just makes the speaker come off as rude, weird, a pervert, or a baka gaijin.
Somebody put this on twitter, this one also appeared on Judge Rinder.These guys get outed every fucking day. This old sack of shit has that innsmouth look.

Wait... are the heckin' valid queers beginning to see it too?
Good. Keep noticing.
Even in the psychology today article the front one is crosseyed (more likely to occur in autistic people lol) and both are instantly clockable.Giving a reality-based answer redirects to this madness

I realise I am late, but this is fucking hilarious. Holy crap! Super Hon looks even worse in video and I was not prepared for the voice. How these people can possibly think they're women is total lunacy.She then followed with a personal update on video about her evil mother and sister with their misgendering ways. You will be very surprised to learn there is life-long friction with mom. Mothers and daughters, eh? Also, there is a totally feminine analogy in there which underscores how she was, is, and always will be a woman.
Her previous video is also quite specialI realise I am late, but this is fucking hilarious. Holy crap! Super Hon looks even worse in video and I was not prepared for the voice. How these people can possibly think they're women is total lunacy.
