@SuzanEraslan@anticapitalist.party tensorate series, by jy yang; the language used is still standard english personal pronouns, but there's an aside in the narration that points out the distinction.
(there's a bunch of other stuff in those books about self-declaration of gender and identity, too, it's a good world for that)
WE ARE HERE. WE ARE VALID. some of us have been here all along. some of us only just now got here. some of us will stay here all our lives, some will drift away. some are Extremely Out, others are Extremely In, but WE ARE ALL VALID.
and if somebody wants to say their gender is "assault helicopter," then GRATS YOUR GENDER IS ASSAULT HELICOPTER I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT. if they're willing to commit, I'm more than willing to let them have it.
@green god though i would love to earnestly explore the experience of my gender being 'assault helicopter' but i don't even know where i'd start
@pan im so glad you're here, panfriend
@pan bep!
@kelly I'm experiencing an inchoate sympathy here
I've got a new blog post for everyone!!
~PARADISE NONEXISTENT~
"The idea of a perfect life on the Hawaiian Islands is utter rubbish. The minute other people project perfection onto paradise, then true paradise is lost. I look at it this way: you know you’ve found your home when you love it because of–not in spite of–its imperfections."

(okay this looks pretty visually clunky but maybe it requires some more exposure before it starts feeling not clunky)
this is the internet, can we just make a convention of optional subscripting first person pronouns with a gender designation
(it has the downsides of basically everything sf/f i've read, which is that i am in love with the worldbuilding and the implications it raises but not really that invested in the plot)
i like dogs and big skies and rock walls and damp grass
