This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The male form doubles as gender neutral. Some people have tried to start using -e ending, but I'm pretty sure basically no one actually uses it.

Edit: Gotta love the dualing anecdote replies.

e ending is what I've seen from gender non conforming spanish-as-first-language speakers most often. I'm gonna go with it until it starts being overwhelmed with something else, languages being living things and them being the people who I see as having any right to determine this bit.

As someone who is native of a romance language, I would prefer using the male form. It doesn't feels 100%, but it's worth it.
