I generally prefer neutral language (person, they/them, etc.), but I go through phases where I don't care if I get called he or she instead.
same here I try to be as neutral as possible
That makes sense! I generally don’t care what I’m called (he or she), but I prefer neutral language. I used to hate (but not as much now) gendered terms such as “What’s up my man?” Or “This man”.
Yeah, I quite like "what's up my man?", but I'm not a fan of "this man".
I generally enjoy feminine stuff as well, simply because it's different, but I prefer neutral.
For the languages I’m learning:
Spanish, I generally prefer terms like elle (they), amigue (friend, gender neutral), etc.
Similarly, elu with Portuguese
Dukaisms with Polish
And hen for Norwegian
I’m fine with “my man” now :)
In 2021, I struggled with intense dysphoria which caused me to feel bad every time someone mentioned things like male parts, or gendered language.
