that really suck :<

ngl as someone without a gender, learning spanish is such a pain sometimes because for me to even speak gender neutrally (about myself) i basically first have to find how the spanish language queer community does it and none of the teaching material uses it ofc and i am sure if i ever joined a class, i am sure no one else would even know how to speak about me gender neutrally and i'd be dismissed as speaking incorrectly :<

    Depends which Spanish you're learning, and your objectives. Many Latin American Spanish dialects are still queerphobic, so finding resources for queer inclusive media would be a cliff-climb endeavor, esp. how femicide culture is deeply ingrained. I know nothing about Spain or European Spanish, or cultures ftm.

    Learn Georgian, it has no grammatical gender so less opportunity for misgendering

    I assume you mean ejective k, rather plosive. /k/ is a plosive/stop by definition! On a side note, ejective k actually appears in some English dialects at the ends of words. If you listen out for it, you'll probably hear it at some point.

    Yes, lol. I actually wrote explosive, because I learned from someone with a shaky grip on English terms (or they were maybe just being metaphoric and not intending to use linguistic jargon), but I then reread it and realized that was nuts, so I changed it without actually thinking about what I was writing.

    But yeah, ejective k is a bitch to pronounce if you hadn’t been previously exposed to it. I took a very long time to be able to produce the sound at all naturally, but I do think it made me better in bed.

    I know it's little to no consolation, but people/allies are researching and advocating. I'm also part of the above paper but I won't divulge more here. xD
