You mispelled "her." Couple times.

And yes, I know.

I was going to comment on that as well

Is that a gender-neutral pronoun I see?

Hope all is well with you. We're still feministing it up in Texas.

It is indeed. Things are okay here. I have no major complaints or direction. Sorta hoping something will change or that I'll get fed up enough to change. So far nothing. Yup. Hope all is well down there.

1. The English language is already broken. It does not require our help.

2. Linguistic systems with gender-neutral pronouns, and even linguistic systems with no gendered pronouns at all, still resulted in imbalanced and patriarchal societies. And we're not talking about weird tribal dialects, we're talking about Turkish (both modern and ancient), Chinese (up until the "westernizing" reforms in the late nineteenth/early twentieth centuries), and pretty much anything that evolved from them, which would include more than half the world by the time you count up the speakers.

CONCLUSION: You are making a bad situation worse for no particular reason. Suck it up, admit there's more to life's little unfairnesses than the way you pronounce a word, and try to change something that actually matters if you feel so damn guilty about having a dick.

spokenstory - Why are you so angry and to whom are you speaking?

I'm assuming you are speaking to spokenstory. I don't think he's angry and I think he is talking to me. I believe he feels like arguing.

1. Hypocrite. You use slang all the time. You could call me on using "Hir" instead of "Ze" which according to urban dictionary, is the best choice for my intent. Intent which you understood(except for why I was using the word) This may be ineloquent but we all are the reason English is "already broken" Everyone has been helping since the day they learned to speak ( ... )
