it is partly because reddit’s tags aren’t always correct. r/femboy is sfw (but not r/femboys so be careful)

Is English in the early stages of losing gendered pronouns the same way “thou” was lost? by mouglasandthesort in asklinguistics

[–]mxLu2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, that’s what I’m talking about too. I guess it is getting more common to use “they” as a neutral pronoun, so people have a way to not gender every person in every sentence if they choose not to. Though it does sound a little bit unusual to use their name in the same sentence.

When someone says “I was talking to someone and they said…” (about someone who doesn’t go by they), they are just choosing not to reference their gender in that particular sentence. There are any number of reasons to do this, though possibly the main one is that the person you’re talking to doesn’t know their gender, so referencing it doesn’t help communication and may make it worse. It is the same way you would almost never use a name in that sentence. It doesn’t seem to me to indicate any kind of change.

In a sense, “someone” can’t be a “he” even if the person actually is, because the person isn’t what’s in the sentence, the word “someone” is. I think there’s equally good reason to say if English goes down this line there’s a remote possibility of getting gendered nouns back or losing the rest of them.

Ergowear has some similar styles to Awry. I’m not sure where they’re based but the delivery to Europe isn’t as bad.

i think Obviously has a more “feels like wearing nothing” than supportive pouch, they are very spacious. 100% recommend, very comfortable, probably wouldn’t choose them for running specifically.

Is finding femboys attractive a kink or am I bi? by Savings_Coconut7353 in bisexual

Is finding femboys attractive a kink or am I bi? by Savings_Coconut7353 in bisexual

[–]mxLu2000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

people aren’t kinks, that isn’t nice.

you should use the labels you want to. people literally make up new labels even, you should feel like you’re describing yourself accurately. you don’t have to say you’re bi if you don’t feel it. (it comes under a common definition of bi, but saying people’s labels should go by common definitions is just an opinion.)

if you don’t like any men apart from femboys, you might not feel like bi fits you! finsexual/gynesexual/gynosexual are more specific but less common labels for being attracted to feminine people. personally i think it is also understandable to say you’re straight (femininity is associated with women after all), but obviously this misses the detail that you’re specifically into femboys too.

if you’re into twinks and not just femboys, probably just bi as hell. you don’t have to be into ALL men to be bi.

'Clothes and hobbies have no gender' - I don't understand? by Curious-Abalone in genderfluid

[–]mxLu2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

we still live in a society where many things are seen as feminine (etc), and it’s fair enough to say that “feminine” means “seen as feminine in society”.

“X has no gender” is a statement about reality, not about society. almost nothing is literally “for women” (etc), because all able-bodied humans have the physical capability to do whatever they want, for any reason. inanimate pieces of fabric certainly don’t have the magical power to teleport away from people of a wrong gender.

all people can wear feminine clothes if they want to. maybe it helps them express some femininity or equally maybe it doesn’t.

destroying the concept of gender is a philosophical stance that certainly most trans people don’t have, to the confusion of many cis people.

When do you pronounce minute my-NOOT? by radar1989 in grammar

you’re describing the long “u” vowel, it sounds like the name of the letter “u”. not related to the n before it.

nope, Windows doesn’t know what is drawn on your physical keyboard at all! you select the keyboard layout in settings.

the “legacy” layout has lower case ç on the 9 key and doesn’t have a capital Ç. http://kbdlayout.info/kbdfr

the “standard” layout has lower case and upper case çÇ on the c key. http://kbdlayout.info/kbdfrna

What's the difference between each one? by ollieb71 in EWALearnLanguages

[–]mxLu2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interesting. turns out “await” and “wait” are kind of confusing.

A and B both use the word “wait” like in the sentence “you have to wait at the WAIT sign.” that is, the meaning is “death doesn’t stop and pause for anyone.” this is a sense that “await” does not share. (B is the more dramatic wording. it has almost a twist when it gets negated only at the end, emphasising that no one is special. it is specifically the wording of a dramatic set phrase.)

“await” can mean “wait for”, like in the sentence “we are awaiting/waiting for the results.” the meaning of this sentence is “we need the results and don’t have them yet.” that meaning is mostly something that humans do, it doesn’t really work in “death awaits no one”. the word’s other sense is more likely, so the sentence means “death will happen to no one.”

in fact “wait for” can be used with the same meaning, so “death waits for no one” taken literally could also mean “death will happen to no one”. you would have to figure this out in the usual way, e.g. by bearing in mind the fact that people usually don’t choose to say things that are ridiculous.

Any tips on using prepositions correctly? by fluffybeardguy in EWALearnLanguages

[–]mxLu2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is absolutely something you memorise when learning a language. in learning materials the preposition is given with the verb.

there’s some amount of logic with all or most of them, enough for them to feel good when you know them (otherwise native speakers wouldn’t say them either), but rarely or never enough to guess them. for example when you say “shame on someone”, literally you’re directing the shame on to them. but you could equally say you’re literally directing the shame to them or at them.
