alt text: a tweet within a tweet. "coworker asked me my pronouns and I said 'they/them but I'm at work right now so it's whatever' and then she came up to me later and said 'this is you'" (showing a tweet that says) i'm probably nonbinary but i have a job so idrc about that rn
This but also there's no good they/them in German. Gotta wait for the feature first.
Just make shit up. Just do der/dem which will confuse the fuck out of people.
But der/dem is male
Der/das?
Using das is like calling people it. So usually very insulting.
People don't want to be a powerful entity that can shapeshift into anything it wants?
They prefer to be a disembodied hand that comes out of a box.
But der/dem is male
lemmy pranked you by posting your comment twice
There‘s a reasonable proposal for „en“, so you can just use that
The german language is not bound by the laws of some institute, you can just use whatever you like!*

Maybe ze? The way "they" sounds with a German accent?
I've seen dey/dem which I find just doesn't sound natural. I generally say "die Person" for gender neutral speech.
"ze" is more like "the", no? I've seen "dey" been used sometimes, but it's not common at all
"Ze" would be pronounced like "tsay." "Zie" would be closer to "the", sounding like "tsee."
Probably understood that in the wrong direction. Ze (eng. phon.) would be spelled more like "sie" (ger. phon.) and would sound like "the" with a German accent. They would become either dey (eng. phon.) or zey (eng. phon.), spelled like "deej" or "seej" (ger. phon.), or even without the y (or j) at the end.
I think. I'm neither native German or English.
I wrote "ze" and "zie"from a German phonetic perspective. "Tsay" and "tsee" are the English ones.
