i like enban but i do wish there was a word equivalent for woman or man for people outside that binary that wasnt based off the word nonbinary though, i dont id as nb for a lot of personal reasons, maybe something like ferman or fehman? with fer/feh being derived from feorh which in old english meant life, breath, living being, or person and the -man suffix being there due to it, as a suffix, meaning person? or possible fohman, though that might be too similar to woman?
or we could cut off the -man suffix and use the full word feorh (or cut it down to feor, which might be more intuitive for the majority of modern english speakers) or something? could potentially switch the e to an a, making the word faor and the plural could be fer?
i kinda like feor as a term in of itself, but im just throwing out some language brainstorming for other people to work with tbh (crossing my fingers that this ask goes through because a lot of mine havent on other blogs lately, and i accidentally got a little too invested in this ask and copynpasting is a pain on my phone)
FUCKING SAME ANON!! I also don't really identify as nonbinary anymore & have a few posts complaining about the dearth of genderqueer nouns that aren't based on NB.
Personally I like the idea of fohman! I think having a word that ends in -man would also be more intuitive for most English speaker (sorry feminism 😔) since it sounds like our other established Gendered Person Words. I also shamelessly love words based in older forms of English. I think we could probably play around with spelling (like feoman/faoman/etc) & also if we use -man, feorh/feor kinda sounds like a cute diminutive (kinda like man/boy and woman/girl?)
In general I'm gonna encourage any proposed genderqueer nouns because we deserve some diverse options damnit. I very much support any efforts to make more genderqueer language & especially nouns that aren't based on NB. Thank you for submitting this anon :]
@flameraven funny i was just revisiting this ask lmao
I don't mind "person," but I think that we suffer from a major dearth of nonbinary/genderqueer-specific language. "Person" implies nothing about gender, which is good! But why should nonbinary/genderqueer people only be allowed to be neutral, when only some of us are? Nonbinary/genderqueer-specific nouns aren't gender-neutral. They are full of nonbinary/genderqueer gender. Just like "woman" or "man" affirms one's gender and can feel comforting to anyone aligned with those genders, having NB/GQ-specific nouns can feel comforting to NB/GQ folks.
Anyways, I was revisiting this ask to make this survey on how people feel about some NB/GQ specific nouns. So if any y'all bored and wanna rate some words, please give me your delicious data

Do you think it's possible to fake being plural even to yourself?
One or two genuine questions to you, anon, before I give my usual spiel on "I think I'm somehow faking it unconsciously and I think I should be ashamed because the fact that I can't stop faking it makes me morally bad":
What would it actually mean to fake plurality?
What does it mean to fake anything, in plain language (and ideally without moral weight attached)?
What makes a thing fake?
The usual spiel on secretly faking it:
First, if this is about you: try to turn it off for one week. Or a day, whichever feels better. All of it. I don't mean pretend that it doesn't exist, I mean stop doing it altogether. Just stop. Snap of the fingers, cold turkey, stop.
You are actively doing it, aren't you? Like, intentionally? You know you absolutely do not identify with the plural label or any plural experiences, that none of this has any possible application or interest to you, that plurality is completely and utterly irrelevant to your life... but you're putting in a large amount of intentional effort to appear as though you're plural for reasons that you don't understand whatsoever? Even if you really want to stop sometimes?
Why are you faking that instead of, I don't know, faking your way into a massive celebrity party or something? You must be talented, and this sounds like it would be exhausting to juggle. Compared to seeing the inside of a nuclear reactor or getting into a festival for free, this is pretty boring as far as pretending goes. Why keep it up? What are you gaining for all that work, especially when you'd be socially fucked if someone called it out?
It's not intentional? You keep trying to stop and you can't? It's not going away no matter how hard you try to change it?
You're probably not faking It. Sorry.
"fake", verb:
- tamper, with the purpose of deception (source)
- "counterfeit", to imitate or feign especially with intent to deceive (source, source)
- one does not fake without intent.
If someone is faking something, then by definition, they know. It's an active and intentional effort, something that they have to put energy and work into sustaining, something that's a relief to turn off. They can turn it off, and they know this because they are intentionally choosing to pretend to have an experience they do not actually, "objectively" have.
And here are the two important points:
Faking is an intentional act. If someone is faking something, then they know for absolute certain that they are faking something. Intent is required to fake something.
The concept of "fake" plurality relies on the idea of an objective state of the self/selves: some existential, absolute truth about whether someone is plural or not.
On point two:
We have no metrics to determine an absolute reality of the self for absolute certain. There are some physical characteristics that have been noticed in brain scans comparing DID systems against controls, but regardless of whether you believe in inherent differences in brain structure, most of us can't get a brain scan on a whim, and we don't have much of this kind of data yet for most other plural experiences. (Tulpamancy brain scan study when? Has that come out yet?)
We also have no idea why consciousness exists or where it's located, if anywhere. It's enough of a slippery issue for the concept of the philosophical zombie to exist: how do we know that anyone else is conscious? We don't. How do we know that plurality is an inherent or objective property of a body? We don't.
Do I believe that faking plurality is possible at all?
Sure. I think it could be done and I've seen it confessed to.
I do think sometimes that if someone were to fake this in the long run, then they would have to be very careful that none of it took on a life of its own. I've met a few accidental tulpamancers. It happens.
Do I think it's common to fake plurality?
No. It's a lot of effort for fairly little reward given that some people still think Split is basically a documentary.
Do I think that faking plurality can be done without knowing it?
No. A person might later find that another framework or explanation works better for them, but that doesn't mean they were secretly faking plurality. It means that they have an experience, and they found a different explanation for that experience that worked better for them. Good for them.
