I feel very dysphoric and cringe expressing myself in my native language, but English works just fine. What gives?
>>41568891less gendered grammar in english perhaps? what is your native tongue esl-san?
>>41568891I feel the same way. I even think in English and have for years.
Give you an emotional distance to the subject at handSimilar reason to writing shit out vs just talking about itThe logical level to it (you accessing your memory of the structure and rules of a different language / writing it out) simply helps your brain to not overthink it too much
Why did you choose to be brown
>>41569101Slav>>41569612I'm 50/50>>41569642Fuck you bruh brown tranners are cute
>>41568891english is innately the superior language
>>41569681Slav, you Balkan maybe?But I feel the same way, when people use she/her in English it feels nice when I have to use gendered words in croatian i cringe cuz I'm not even out socially
i think it's the fact there's more discourse about it in english, especially through a medical lenslike im arab, you can probably guess what arabs think of gays & tranners - so the language reflects that: maybe the basic language *exists* (e.g. gender dysphoria = idh6irab al-hawiyya al-jinsiyya) but the discourse is mostly unaccepting, outside of people with high enough openness to be fluent in english anyways
>>41569612i think in a language if i am exposed to an idea through the language, the more i recieve an idea through a language the more i think of it in that language if that makes senselike if im thinking about childhood memories i think in arabic, but if im thinking about what manga im reading i think in english
>>41568891i think english is very basic in respect other languages, and it can give a clearer idea of what you are thinking without adding to much information on it
>>41568891>Any ESL troons here>I feel very dysphoric and cringe expressing myself in my native language, but English works just fine. What gives?
>>41568891Probably becase you don't have gendered speaking habits in English that have been reinforced since birth. I'm a native English speaker and I feel less dysphoric while speaking Russiant. knower of English German Russian Mandarin
>>41568891It might be because you associate English with the virtual whereas your native language has a practical day-to-day function, which drives you to confront the reality of the situation.
>>41568891Because english isn't as close to the soul, so it's an extra layer of protection against the cringe
>>41568891same. also i think my voice passes better in both english and spanish than in portuguese
I'm french and I largely prefer english because of how gendered french is
