Why do languages with gendered nouns leave out the verbs and adjectives? Why not a masculine “swim” and a feminine “punch”? Or a feminine “loudly”? Or a masculine question mark? IT MAKES ABOUT AS MUCH SENSE!!!

These #lawmakers want less #gendered language in the #law

There's no reason to make this #gendered. If you see #someone struggling and you're able to #help, you should help. That should be the #message.

"im a radical #leftist but you cant criticize any #country if i acknowledge it has minorities in it. and youth lib is enabling #molestation. and the #family is a necessary instiution. and #people should only be allowed #bodily #autonomy if i agree with their #choices. and we need to be on constant watch for stranger danger #predators to #publicly shun. and the death penalty is only bad because i disagree with who my #government chooses to kill. and youre an insane retar-i mean mentally slow #person if youre anti psych or advocate for destigmatization of anything considered a symptom. and i couldnt possibly benefit from any part of the way society is currently structured. you hate #minorities if you think i should stop accusing minorities of sex #crimes when i disagree with them. and #gendered #oppression being discussed by anyone other than cafab women is misogyny. and class analysis forgets some #millionaires are #women or minorities. and its a bit too far to propose we actually try to #change anything about society at all."

Who else gets gendered correctly more often when out with their partner?

She’s femme leaning but definitely has futch dyke energy. It makes me giddy to be seen as a lesbian couple.

@Livingmarble Which makes you 'fun, guy'? Gal? You? Can this whole 'fungi' joke premise work at all any more? I am at a #queer #gendered #impasse and cannot proceed without #sentient intervention.

Dus Kordaat is #gendered bier! Alleen voor ♂️.

Some #Bicycle manufacturers still refer to #Bikes with a step-through frame as "Women's Bikes," which is ironic— they're the only bikes that you don't smack your nuts on as you get on and off.

Ok I have a question for #TechWorkers in the #tech #fediverse. This is kind of a food for thought question about #Gendered language in the workplace. 🧵

I am delighted to share that we are rolling out several new #Critical #Perspectives sections in #Politics & #Gender in the coming weeks!

The first is "Gender & Political Representation in Times of Crisis," edited by Jennifer Piscopo and Diana Z. O'Brien.

Essays explore how different types of #crises affect #gendered #political dynamics.

I sat and waited for my #tattoo artist to get set up and a mom and her kid walked in.

Kid was central casting teenager. Insecure shoulders hunched forward, baggy shirt, hands in pockets of baggy jeans.

"He looks a lot like me at that age." I thought.

The mom then #gendered the kid as a she.

And i thought "YUP, she sure does!"

So she's why I went out today. She is who I was brave for.

She needs to know. We all need to know we're not alone. #trans #TransDayOfRevolt

Speaking tomorrow at the UN CFS event on Reducing #Inequalities in #Food Security and #Nutrition. I'll be talking about inequality through a #gendered #food systems lens.

So… why are single occupant #bathrooms #gendered in #public spaces? I was waiting for the men’s room to become available at a small store today, and just decided to head into the other bathroom labeled for women as it was available. Nothing happened, besides hastening my relief.
Who’s with me to just make this the normal behavior? If you see a single use bathroom, just use it if you need to.
