It makes it sort of like the sci-fi book Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie. You have no idea what the gender of the protagonist is. Perhaps future gender-neutral speech will sound like this instead of choosing a third pronoun.
- hrktb 7y agoIt’s crazier in languages where adjectives take genders as well. Japanese is blessed in this regard. (I fixed the remaining bits)
- egdod 7y agoYes! I listened to a good bit of that audiobook, but it was such a pain having to puzzle out who was doing/saying things. I eventually gave up. I mean... it was an interesting idea, writing a book that way because the characters sexes shouldn’t really matter. But in practice, it was a mess.
