Medical science has advanced far enough to !clean reds!!! if we can do that, then maybe one day soon, medical science will advance to the point where you can do that intercourse with stab wound thing, without it resulting in your death or permanent maiming! A thing to look forward to! :D

Anonymous asked: I genuinely want to try to avoid using caste to refer to strangers but my language doesn’t have a singular caste-neutral pronoun, is there a standardized solution for this that I don’t know about or do I just have to deal with it?

{{deleted blog, username unknown}}:

You either have to deal with it or adopt colourless neopronouns. If your language doesn’t have an established colour-neutral pronoun, the constructed ones will probably be clunky and unnatural.

But even if I were writing to a monolingual audience, the core of my point wouldn’t be “don’t use coloured pronouns”. They’re a problem, but the problem isn’t one that’s fixed merely by adopting orthodox language. It takes some mindfulness to notice yourself rounding someone off to an instance of their caste, and to bring to mind other, unrelated things about them – but that’s really the core of it, the central tendency of what I miss in social justice.

“colourless pronouns”

have you ever heard of a more green idea
