    I don’t need the space, I need the luxury. If I have to wipe with anything fewer than three ply, it could start a war

  I’m not sure there’s a single syllable that fits the whole plus so I guess you drop it and kind force inclusion by implying it

    goddesses are already gods

    That’s called invisibilization of women. The French language, which is my mother tongue, does that a lot, and we’re fighting against that.

      I’ve heard arguments for the opposite: women who act should be called actors, not actresses, the logic being that the -ess suffix is diminutive, so all actors should just be actors. It seems like there are perfectly reasonable arguments to be made for either side.

      Does that work if you are trying to include more than two genders?
