BADGE OF HONOR

I agree with you Nigel.  Sombunal is as stupid and spineless as "ze" and "J".
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

And all the cultures with genderless pronouns are stupid and spineless too then?

Is this code for "intersex and androgynous people are stupid and spineless?"

If so, I have a hearty fuck you, douchebag, reserved just for you.

I think sombunall is silly and more an obstacle to understanding than a clarifier, while genderless pronouns have a biological basis as well as a cultural history.

time to coin something new!!! we are the newbunol' discordia, after all ("new but not old")

albunoso - "all but not some", for if you want to say "all", and really mean it.

albunomost - "all but not most", for if you want to sound clever.

I wouldn't call genderless pronouns stupid, but I would call them pedantic and dull, and generally used in unnecessary situations.
Especially so on the internet, where the little pictures with words beside them could be any species let alone gender.

I'd agree that they're generally used in unnecessary situations but properly contextualized they're perfectly appropriate.

Perhaps, the only people I have ever encountered who use gender neutral terminology are people online As I mentioned before. I find gender identity or vocalisation of an absence of it on the internet laughable so I can admit I am predisposed to associate negative things with them. I'm unsure how I would react to it if I was talking to a person in real life that uses them.
So far my experience of it still seems like a crutch of a bland personality trying to sound more interesting.

Is a gender identity that isn't neatly masculine or feminine laughable IRL?

Yes. Just as laughable as a gender identity that is neatly masculine or feminine but not quite as laughable as someone who thinks gender identities are srs bidness :lulz:

IRL is where the person origionates, its something tangible as opposed to the internet.
All gender identity is laughable, neatly or not, but i would be more likely to listen in real life when I can be more sure the person even exists.
