Kinda ran into this concept when discovering new concepts or sciences. Yeah the new stuff gonna be unintuitive and potentially hard to learn, but it both exists and functions
French exists despite my best efforts.
C’est toi-même le problème.
You bastard! You're perpetuating the cycle!
Can't imagine how boring the world would be without stuff I don't understand.
There's a lot of things I don't understand. But I know that every person has the right to live their lives in whichever way they see fit. That's all it takes really.
AS LONG AS they don't interfere with how others live their lives!
But what if they have really poor taste in food?
be polite about it
We tell them politely, yet firmly to leave
You politely decline, when they invite you for dinner.
But you can learn French. There are grammars and dictionaries explaining how it functions. It's not beyond anyone's comprehension, assuming some patient work.
Educating and explaining will help LGBT more than treating it as a sacred mystery. People used to act bewildered when faced with the concept of homosexuality. Today nobody dares to take such a stupid position, because it's too obvious that homosexuality is nothing magical or particularly illogical. I hope trans and all the other gender/sex-based identities will go down the same route.
Nobody would take a stupid position like Homosexuality isn't real
[MAGA has left the chat]
"MAGA = nobody"
I wish
One can learn about other genders too? The difference is when someone refuses to learn French they don't then turn around and say "that language doesn't exist, you're just crazy" because of their lack of understanding. But a gender identity that doesn't fit in "man", "woman", or "nonbinary" gets treated that way even within the trans community.
Just to be clear, I agree about educating people about gender.
There is a limit to what people are able to understand without direct lived experience though. I agree that we shouldn't shy away from educating people — in saying that, I hold my experience as a cis person who learned about gender by being in community with trans people close to my heart. However, although I can "simulate" gender dysphoria by imagining how I would feel if living as a man (something I have reflected on a couple of times due to experiencing misogyny as a woman in science), it can't give me the perspective of someone who had grown up experiencing it, for example.
I think there's a balance to be struck, where we can educate and explain things to people, but we must also not expect that this will always be possible. It's okay to sometimes shrug and say "I don't get it, but I don't need to". Through understanding and internalising this, we can leverage the power of relevant situated perspectives.
To give an analogy, most of my scientific expertise is in biochemistry, and I don't know tons about most topics in climate science. Having a background in the sciences means that I'm probably more able to quickly parse the scientific literature than most interested laypeople, but this barely scratches the surface on some incredibly complex topics. However, it's not necessary for me to understand all of this in order for me to be able to understand where my expertise fits into the big picture (and when I would be wise to take a step back and yield the stage to someone who knows more than me)
Don't you know language is just a social construct. Its not real. /s
I'm gonna need a French chameleon.
Le Français a seulement deux sexes.
Frankreich hat zwölf Sexsäulen? Warum???
Le Français n'a que deux sexes mais... Les choses ont un genre aussi :) Une chaise, un parasol.
French has only 2 genders ( no it) but we also have gender for things :) In French a chair is female (she) and a sunshade/sun umbrella is male (he)
Same in German. Washing machines are obviously female (she) and an umbrella is male (he). The chair do be male though.
Mais si j'ai un 3e sexe?
Does Fr*nch really exist though
Never heard of it. Sounds made up.
As a French gal
Va lécher des chiottes !
Amicalement
:P
