    Kinda yes cause its hard to ignore them. I be scrollin lemmy and i see a post like "brave young man saves toddler from drowning in industrial waste that was illegally dumped there" and there always has to be an ml user going "uhh actually that makes him a nazi and pedophile because he didnt ask for permission from the toddler whether it wanted to get saved or not and also illegal industrial waste dumping is a necessary evil in my accelerationist ideology, im very smart'

    Would be great if we could figure out how to do non-binary or non-gendered speech in Ukrainian. Grammatical gender is a pain in the ass.

    Is this really a shortcoming of the Ukrainian language?

    Yeah, Slavic languages have grammatical gender. It's not like in German or French with the articles, but the endings of adjectives and past tense verbs change to agree with nouns and pronouns.

    I really have no idea what that would look and sound like. We have a neuter gender, but it's not really fitting to talk about people (like using "it" in English). I think we do need a new gender neutral suffix, yes, but I'm not qualified enough to make an attempt at devising one.

    Or maybe we could just start using plural, like "they" in English. It would sound odd, but not as odd as a brand new type of ending.

    Don't they have a neutral gender?

    Neuter, not neutral. Like "it" in English or "das" article in German. Not really a good fit to talk about people.

    It actually goes a bit further and says LGBTIQ+.

    I like human rights.
    What a world this is that is considered a strategy, though.

    That's at least something good. I hope I'm not being fooled.

    Nice to have some good news on the LGBTQ+ front, just waiting for someone to come in and tell us why this isn't what it seems and is in fact bad.
