@Bamurubi@mastodon.social @SecondUniverse@autistics.life In Polish every noun in past tense is gendered. Since I started questioning my identity, I often use workarounds like "that happened to me" instead of "I did that" or similar. In few contexts I have enough courage to use neutral form (most people would say it's not designed to use in first and second person) but in this stupid backward country it could bring attention of aggressive transphobes and it's already mocked by some communities and public personas.

@madargon@is-a.cat @SecondUniverse@autistics.life It is scary isn't it. I don't understand the urge to put others down. When our country allowed for 'non-binary' on birth certificates I got mine changed, after some internal debate. Now there is a more right-wing government talking about bathrooms and so on, and I wonder what might happen downstream - no going under the radar now. #nonbinary #birthcertificate
