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.
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

Israel is committing genocide.
Israel is committing ethnic cleansing.
Palestinians have said it while trying to survive it.
Israeli leaders have said it while they commit it.
If you support Israel you support genocide. Period.
You're not for freedom if you're not for Palestine.
We in the US are funding a genocide. Your silence is complicity. There's no job in the world worth giving your humanity away for. Worth giving tacit approval for this mass murder for.

"cardiac arrest" doesn't mean a heart attack, it just means the heart stopped. It's a vague unhelpful thing that ends up on official death reports for various reasons.
All this to say: Julie Powell's husband may have just been reporting what he was officially told, not trying to cover up a real reason for her death. It's probably very unclear still what exactly happened.
I know there's a lot of covering up of COVID stuff so I get why people are on guard for that. But I wouldn't jump to that conclusion in this case, esp given how cardiac arrest gets thrown around in official documents.
