idk if that made any sense. i was making a pronouns page and started making a dutch one and then i realised that i had no idea how to translate it/its. and then idk what to do with any of the neopronouns i like. irl i only use he/him but ive been feeling more open to trying more pronouns again, at least in online spaces

hmmm yeah that's a tough one, it/its doesn't translate well in Dutch. From personal experience, the best (neutral) alternative pronouns in dutch are die/diens or hen/hun, where die/diens seems to be more accepted since it can be used easier for singular, whereas hen/hun is linguistically mainly plural. They're not as widely used in Dutch as they/them in English but fulfill the same purpose, i think

just-a-husk > yeah, most people i know who use they/them translate it as die/hen/hun/hun/henzelf but the trouble with that is that in proper dutch it's neutral but in my dialect its masculine TvT but that's another issue lol. i don't think im gonna be using it/its or neopronouns in my day-to-day life anytime soon ayways but idk i was wondering. i haven't met anyone irl who uses it/its or neos so i cant really compare

I use only one set of pronouns (masc) in my native language, and any/all in english. It doesn't really bother me, even though I prefer neutral, but it's far more difficult to find people willing to use neutral pronouns instead of the usual binary in real life. So I guess I don't use neopronouns in my other languages at all.

working on some mobile accessibility stuff. still far from perfect but its getting better i think
like, i do think minors should be able to read about different orientations and experiences. i think if i knew what i know now, i wouldve had less issues with my identity. but i understand if its better to place a warning!
i think it'd be good to add a warning! just to let ppl know what to expect from the page. making the page 18+ doesn't rly seem necessary
