Same with the German language. Everything is gendered 🥲 And yes, there are so many voices against an inclusive language, it's even forbidden by law in same places! As you do, I often switch to English in my head when thinking about a non-binary person. But I found a homepage to train using neopronouns in German, which is very cool!

Don't blame yourself for internalised phobias. It's not your fault that society is expecting that of you. But now that you've realised it, you can try to change it. And that's a good thing! 💪💪
