you fuckers who only speak english have it so easy picking pronouns

basically the only reason i don't use they/them is because the swedish equivalent is, get this, "hen"

that's a fucking chicken

my pronouns aren't chicken

@ChlorideCull I hate the lack of a good equivalent to they/them in German as well. "it" is certainly not equivalent and anything else is just a way to awkwardly talk around pronouns

@ChlorideCull (although that is just from the point of using pronouns when talking about others, not using them for myself)

@cato yeah, "hen" was specifically created as an artificial word that isn't gendered ("hon" and "han" are the gendered ones) but it's just awkward, like, it conflicts with the local dialect

@ChlorideCull oh, okay! Yeah that sounds possibly very confusing
