@Firebomb173 It takes a lot of extra words to describe because you have to short-circuit the genderedness of every word mid-sentence. - Show replies

It's really hard to talk about bodies without bringing gender into it. None of our language is gender-free.

@limenale People make it subordinate to gender; bodies are not inherently gendered

@limenale It is possible to talk about anatomy without gendering it, but with the language we have it's *really* hard.
