For some reason my brain perceives English as masculine gendered, and I sometimes randomly think I misgendered someone.
Russian is highly gendered but I never really thought about gendering English. That said, I came here when I was six so English is honestly more my native language than Russian at this point.
Russian is my native and I spoke it exclusively for 19 years, so I think it got ingrained in my head to gender past verbs.
That makes sense. My mom definitely struggles a ton with gendering (she is absolutely supportive so I knows it’s not malicious).
I don’t.
i use english more than my gendered as hell native language so no
no i dont gender english even tho russian is more gendered language
Yes, I can’t use “it” correctly and I see English as a masculine language. Every now and then I call someone “He” for that reason.
Same. I often unconsciously think “he” in my head, because my brain thinks everyone is writing with masculine verbs, lol.
