This is still happening in translations and it's such a disappointment (See the translation and tweet below in the thread). Taka Jamoreesa is nb. Their pronouns are they/them. That's it. Find a way, translators, editors, publishers. Any other gendering is incorrect, it's erasure.
Languages have always been living things and if there's no way to signify a gender identity that's been around since the dawn of humanity then it's time to figure one out. Past time.
If you think language is stagnant, you're willfully ignoring what's right in front of your face. This isn't even a debate.
well there it is. Thank you
Language is fluid. It will find a way. But it takes longer if people don't let it because they're stuck in medieval ass ways of existing and more interested in using language as a weapon to keep themselves comfortable.
transphobia is disgusting
worst part is the sheer number of things that tweet could be about in pop culture THIS WEEK ALONE. I hate it.
imagine thinking "well if you don't like someone erasing your entire identity and furthering demonizing you to the world which has already tried to destroy you, simply don't read the books i don't see what the problem is" is a hot take in 2020 or ever jesus.
🤡 shit
it's the Peace that kills me I think but maybe it's the psst nope it's THE WHOLE THING i figured it out
