Also to finish this up.
I really, really, really, really hate German as a language. There are efforts to make it more gender inclusive, but it's klunky at best, because this language was just never meant to be inclusive at all.
Fuck, there isn't even a word for "gender" in it. We have to borrow it from English.
Also why I prefer talking English. It's not great, but at least it's a lot easier to have a gender neutral language and gender inclusive language.
Which also means, btw. You really don't do me a favor talking in German to me and I kindly ask you not to.
And the main reason, I keep it sort of a secret, that I speak it. Because I don't want people starting talking German with me.
I actually forget how to talk in it, sometimes and communicating in it gets harder.
And even though it's my first language, I am kind of happy that happens.
