Welsh Gender Neutral Terms Tournament #5 - Grandchild(ren)

Welsh Gender Neutral Terms Tournament #5 - Grandchild(ren)

Following on from this post I made yesterday, in which I listed some possible gender neutral Welsh terms for family brainstormed in the discord, I'm going to make a series of polls to find out which terms people prefer for each concept. In each poll I'll have two options and example sentences using each term (you are welcome to create your own as well). Your feedback is very much appreciated too! Reblog with tags or send an ask- either is fine!

And of course, please reblog for a larger sample size. Diolch!

Grandchild(ren):

Ŵyr(ion) m. - "Oes gennych chi unrhyw wyrion?" (Do you have any grandchildren?)

[‘ŵyr’ (grandson) normally, but may be used irrespective of gender in a similar fashion to the modern usage of terms like ‘ysgrifennwr’ (writer) over older terms like ‘ysgrifenyddes’ (female writer) ]

Other (I did not feel that wyrion could be improved upon, hence no alternate version here)

Very cool to discover our 'left-wing' government cutting billions from disability support while at the same time trying to add 'Feeling like a burden' to the list of reasons people should be allowed euthanasia.

These ghouls in suits are trying to kill me and my friends.

Do it with your bare hands Starmer you fucking coward.

There are reports that the Government is planning to introduce guidance stating that schools in England must inform parents if a young person seeks to change their name or starts wearing different uniform. We believe this information should be kept confidential, unless the child chooses to share it.

Welsh Gender Neutral Terms Tournament #1 - Sibling(s)

Following on from this post I made yesterday, in which I listed some possible gender neutral Welsh terms for family brainstormed in the discord, I'm going to make a series of polls to find out which terms people prefer for each concept.

And of course, please reblog for a larger sample size. Diolch!

Sibling(s):

Chwaed(ion) f. - “Mae fy chwaed yn byw yng Ngheredigion” (My sibling lives in Ceredigion)

[‘chwaer’ (sister) + ‘brawd’ (brother). Rhymes with ‘chwaed’ (blood), reminiscent of family ties]

Chwaerydd m. - “Mae ei chwaerydd yn hoffi hufen iâ” (His sibling likes ice cream) 

['chwaer' + '-ydd' (masculine suffix) ]

Its a tough pill to swallow but we aren't free of British biases just because we are Welsh / speak Welsh. You have to do the work to actively remove these biases from how you approach the world.

Hating England isn't a substitute for freeing yourself of British arrogance. Unfortunately, if you're born on this island, you're gonna pick up some bad habits. And they are not bad habits unique to England either. Nor have they been imported from England. They can be and often are home grown.

Change starts with those of us who recognise our blind spots and actively work to remove them. If we don't, we risk falling into the same pitfalls of arrogance which we decry in our English neighbours.
