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 can’t gather headphones usually, and if I do change the subject, she screams at me more or asks how dare I ignore her. Typically she believes nothing is her fault, sadly :)

I can try though!

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.

I’ve seen girls in high school do that

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”.

 

Everyone is different. Some people who are non binary but lean/present as feminine might use feminine words, but others I’ve seen use the masculine because they think modifying the grammar is complicated.

I personally use the gender-neutral modified language, like using elle in Spanish.

I heard two people arguing about whether or not someone farted.

 

Maybe it’s because a lot of them are girls, but they’re like this with guys too. They are very touchy with each other, but it seems awkward if it’s with me.

I’ve asked for permission and they said they don’t like physical contact, so I obviously don’t.

My friends overall seem closer with each other than with me, but I just find it kind of interesting that they make physical contact a lot but not with me (ex: hugging, holding hands, grabbing arm, etc.)

If someone could help me out, that’d be greatly appreciated! I’m not trying to judge, I genuinely don’t understand, which is why I’m asking here. I do understand some cases such as: “Sorry, I only really allow my boyfriend to do that stuff with me”.

 

I want a free app to practice and memorize vocabulary but one that also teaches grammar and audio comprehension (I can barely understand sometimes, especially since I don't use Duolingo every day) better than Duolingo does and doesn't make you lose hearts or anything.

 

It could also just be English if you only speak English.

 

Random post, also he is quite controversial.

So, this guy I used to be friends with (maybe he gets some slack, I’m 18 and he’s 17) is a very far-right individual.

He doesn’t date trans people (which is fine) but he also thinks that they don’t count as “actual” men/women and that they’re some other category, and says he can’t date them “because he’s bisexual”.

He also heavily criticizes Democrats/non-Trump supporters and praises anyone who supports Trump, even if they’re bad people because he doesn’t believe bad people support Trump?

My friend also says it would make sense for him to be bisexual and support Trump since he heavily prefers women and would therefore “fit in with straight people” and not understand LGBT stuff. He seems to support it as a bi dude but the way he talks about other stuff heavily outweighs his support.

He also believes every non-white person should “go back to where they came from”, that they’re all illegal immigrants (bonus points if they’re Latino), and that people who aren’t white are secretly out to get white people.

He even tried to tell me that my friend of Caribbean descent was bad and that he would end up killing us all and tried to persuade me to stop being his friend.

But seriously, prefers the opposite gender or not, he is still bi, and I don’t really understand LGBT Trump supporters much.

 

Not everyone thinks this, but I know an extreme right-winger who thinks this. He is also a conspiracy theorist who thinks non-white people are out to get white people so, yeah, odd.

Not every immigrant is illegal or bad. I know a girl who didn't speak English for 3 years when her family legally immigrated, so of course she's been told this.

 

Obviously, not everyone is like this, if you’re not like this, I don’t mean you.

You can hate the Russian government or the culture or whatever, but you shouldn’t hate people. You shouldn’t hate people of Russian descent just because of where they came from, because of the language they speak, because of what the russian government is doing.

 

You may not like their posts but that doesn’t automatically make them a troll. If they’re trying to get a reaction, then yes, but sometimes, these “trolls” aren’t even trolls
