lets steal from old english some more
cennend is now a nonbinary version of parent
ALSO cenn is the nonbinary version of mom or dad
Cenn is great but the first post is funny because parent is already non-binary
no its not, parent is gender neutral
…can’t it be both?
Parent is not specifically non-binary, it’s gender-not-specified, whereas cennend is specifically non-binary, presumably the nb version of mother and father.
Words tend to be either gender-not-specified (like partner) or non-binary specific (like enbyfriend). Whilst a word is used to refer to people with binary identities even if not specifying gender it is not specifically non binary.
Oh thank you cause this post was confusing me slightly. Would it basically come under words like cennend would only apply non binary people whereas words like parent can be used by anyone?
also, if you don’t mind another question cennend would have a gramatical gender (masculine? I think) wouldn’t that be a drawback for a non-binary word?
