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.
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
No matter who you are, wherever you go you will always find great people and a few assholes. Ignore the assholes and enjoy the company of the nice people. If this entire group is assholes, just go and find naother group as you dont want to hang around assholes anyways, let alone ones that mmdont respect you.

Learn Georgian, it has no grammatical gender so less opportunity for misgendering
Plus it has
a plosivean ejective k! Good luck everyone :)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.

I feel him, deeply.
This is the way
For real, besides "omelette du fromage" what else do you really need to know?
well, always a good thing to know how to actually get rid of so-called fr*nchies : and I know what I'm talking about I'm fr*nch
ofc I noticed the obligatory typo in the meme right after uploading. I do know how to spell nobody.
Just continue to spell it wrong and gaslight anyone who disagrees.
