Basically, this man said he is more legitimate than a cis woman to be called a woman , because he had to take hormones and had to struggle

I was born a woman and all I got was this tiny stature and sexual abuse

Except womanhood isn't a trophy. It's a state of being outside anyone's control.

Womanhood isn't something earned, it is inherent.

Ironic that the generation raised on participation awards is now saying something that actually is a participation award in a way is something that you should actually have to work for.

Crap, now I sound like a boomer...

I can understand French but my ass doesn’t want to be bothered to read this shit in a different language 🤣

Wow. What the actual fuck.

bahaha thanks for a laugh I haven't seen this as much here. Although they do try and be active on twitter. I'm laughing also because as a whole France isn't submitting to this as much as other countries and well they'd never have the balls to go down south (especially) and bully men into dating them. Also high chance this user is from the Parisian region.

That green-haired avatar with a handle reading "Wakewokewoken @braahbraa" looks more like satire, tbh.

But, of course, you can never know these days. Hyperbolic satire doesn't really work anymore these days because no matter how insane you make your satire sound, there's an American/ized wokey who seriously believes in it.

oh it's a real account I looked it up. It's a highschool aged kid, believes in fatphobia, believes in increasing and leeching off our very generous financial aid options, has made up french pronouns (lol) in the bio, and is shocked when people don't coddle him in the replies to tweets like the obnoxious one above.

the profile pic is fake though

Just out of curiosity, what on earth are made up French pronouns? My grasp of the language is very basic, but it seems like something where you absolutely couldn’t avoid gender or comfortably add non-binary options.

[–]Eurowoman24 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

that's true, I can't think of a single word that's not gendered. They added iel/they on their profile, which sounds like a bad mashup of il (masc) and elle(fem). Just like someone not wanting to be called he or she anymore, though it's even funnier because there's no equivalent for the singular use of they(it can be used in the singular form right?). What we have is ils/elles = they, nous= we, vous = you. The closest perhaps is vous, but it sounds stupid because vous is what you use with strangers, when you're not that familiar with someone (so you have to keep using the formal vous, til they give you permission to use the informal tu) or someone older that you need to respect like a teacher, or your in laws. It's a form of respect really.

Iel sounds like something you’d hear in Lord of the Rings. If it’s making an English speaker cringe, I’m sure it’s extra rough for you guys.

So you’re saying there’s no way to make it work at all?

They is weird. You can use it as a singular in very casual spoken situations. (E.g. “They’re coming over tonight, right?”) It’s incorrect for formal settings or written English though. You would use he, she, or he or she. (E.g. “If an employee has a complaint he or she may contact Human Resources.”). The same goes for his and hers. You could say a singular their in casual conversation, but it’s incorrect in formal and written settings. I don’t know of an equivalent gaffe in French.

I don't think so but it's funny seeing them try. the easiest would be vous but for the reasons i stated above its dumb.

Every word is gendered, you can’t make up an inclusive language

Bien sur que ça allait venir en France ces conneries américaines !

[–]AnokiFrench[S] 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Comment dire , bon ça risque de ne pas fonctionner aussi bien en France

[–]Eurowoman24 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

je pense pas trop non plus, t'imagine essayer d'instaurer des lecons de ce genre a l'ecole avec les enfants musulmans par exemple?

[–]AnokiFrench[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Ça ferait débat , et tout le monde surtout les concernés serait contre

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Well, there goes my plans to move to France

[–]AnokiFrench[S] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

It does not work that well in France , with our gendered language and others factors

[–]Eurowoman24 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

well if a teacher gets decapitated for sharing a satirical drawing of a religious figure I doubt this would fly over too well
