Some idiot told me that I don't talk like a woman, that I talk like a man. Not that my voice sounds masculine (it doesn't) but that I "use masculine words or phrases" what the fuck does that even mean?

If there's a better community to post this please let me know and I'll delete this and post it again there.

Edit: They aren't a man, they're a woman. She definitely gave off the JK Rowling TERF vibes though.

Crossposted this here just in case anyone here has anything to add the the other community didn't say. I know trans experiences can bring new perspectives.

Probably also a cultural thing, have you heard Irish people? I'm sure the "manly speech" guy would say Irish women also speak manly.

Oh hell yeah! On each side of my family, we've got Irish and Scots-Irish ancestry. The women in our family are fairly well known for "plain speaking". Or, in the case of chauvinists and misogynists, not knowing their place. One particular branch, there's a reputation for it enough that "sounding like a last name" is a local saying.

From what I've seen in documentaries and on YouTube, it very likely is something that's been passed down
