One thing I'm wondering about the pronouns thing,
How does it work if you translate a text, or move to another country, or speak 2 languages, or even try to learn a language?
Because I'm not American and xe xi xu lu li la are not pronouns in my language.
But then I got another thought, what if you use xer as a pronoun, but speak two languages? If you simply claim to not be male or female, you won't use either male or female pronoun, so what then? If there is nothing else? Or if you write a text and you need to translate it? What do you translate those pronouns to?
Imagine doing business in Europe and you need to translate "xer" into 15 different languages, none of which use anything but he and she. How would that even work? Or if you move to another country?
Or even Latin languages; since almost every word they use is gendered, either male or female. So how would you even work with that? I mean this is in fucking Canada, how do you translate all those millions of pronouns into French?
You think these people speak other languages? They're the whitest of the white. The closest they've ever gotten to trying to applying this concept in other languages is "Latinx", and even that is roundly mocked by native Spanish speakers.
