Oh we dropped the gay? I always assumed it meant happy
I’m not sure there’s a single syllable that fits the whole plus so I guess you drop it and kind force inclusion by implying it Like gods vs gods and goddesses, goddesses are already gods
goddesses are already gods
That’s called invisibilization of women. The French language, which is my mother tongue, does that a lot, and we’re fighting against that.
I’ve heard arguments for the opposite: women who act should be called actors, not actresses, the logic being that the -ess suffix is diminutive, so all actors should just be actors. It seems like there are perfectly reasonable arguments to be made for either side.
It may be possible in English, I’m not competent enough to have a strong opinion.
In French, as all words are gendered, the things are different.
Does that work if you are trying to include more than two genders?
The distinction, or ignoring the distinction?
The invisibilization.
Some lieutenant in a skant is going to be very upset.
In case anyone else is as confused as I was: yes, we are defederated from Hexbear.net. This image is simply hosted there.

That luxury space communism better be gay

Can somebody explain to me how it’s supposedly “logical”?
We haven’t achieved “fully automated” on Earth for as mundane tasks as picking vegetables. What makes you think space travel would make full automation possible?
