Welsh Gender Neutral Terms Tournament #3 - (Neutral) Niece/Nephew

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!

(Neutral) Niece/Nephew:

(There is no gender neutral equivalent in English, though some use Nibling for this. Nibling was apparently coined in 1951!)

Naith f. - Niece/Nephew - “Bydd eich naith yn gwisgo'r siwt las” (Your nibling will wear the blue suit)

[‘nith’ (niece) + ‘nai’ (nephew) ]

Naib f. - Niece/Nephew - "Pryd mae eich naib yn cyrraedd?" (When is your nibling arriving?)

[‘nith’/’nai’ + Eng. ‘Nib-’, from Nibling]

EMERGENCY COST OF LIVING FUND

Prynhawn da - I hate to have to do this again, but as I mentioned in my last post, I'm at serious risk of going into debt because of the cost of living crisis.

I have £35 in combined overdraft and upcoming bills to pay before the 7th of March or I will get into debt with my bank. Which is something I want to avoid at all costs.

If you see something on my gumroad (link in bio) you'd like, please email me at llyfrenfys@gmail.com and we can sort out payment through PayPal (same email).

I wouldn't ask unless it was a crisis - if you cannot buy something, please share. I currently have no money for food - I'm having to prioritise my bills so I don't get into debt. So anything you can spare will make a world of difference to me.

I wish it wasn't this way - that artists and writers like me weren't constantly stifled by living costs. But if you don't support small artists - we will go under. Queer art and writing is needed in the world and I hate that those of us who are most marginalised are the most vulnerable to these problems.

Please share and donate if you are able. Thank you

£0/35 raised

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.

I'm publishing my first poetry chapbook, Poems for Justice!

I've been writing poetry in the English langauge since I was in high school. As of late, I have begun writing my first Welsh langauge poetry as well. This bilingual chapbook is the result!

Available in my online shop for £2.50 (link in bio)

There are four poems in this small chapbook, which is published on white paper (eight pages, two Welsh poems and two English poems)

Every sale helps me to live and create - thank you to anyone who buys my art, poems and academic work!

Dw i'n cyhoeddi fy nghydymaith barddoniaeth gyntaf, Cerddi Cyfiawnder!

Dw i wedi bod yn sgwennu barddoniaeth yn yr iaith Saesneg ers ysgol uwchradd. Yn ddiweddar, dw i wedi bod yn sgwennu fy marddoniaeth gyntaf yn yr iaith Gymraeg hefyd. Y cydymaith dwyieithog hwn yw'r canlyniad!

Ar gael yn fy siop ar-lein am £2.50 (dolen yn fy mhio)

Mae pedair cerdd yn y cydymaith bach hwn, a gyhoeddir ar bapur gwyn (wyth tudalen, dwy gerdd Cymraeg a dwy gerdd Saesneg)

Mae pob gwerthiant yn fy helpu i fyw a chreu - diolch i unrhyw un sy'n prynu fy nghelf, cerddi a gwaith academaidd!

So far this year, I have not posted on LGBT identity days as I have done in years past. I'd like to ask- did you enjoy those kinds of posts? Are they something you'd like to see more of?

I've made a poll. Would you like the identity day posts to return?

Please reblog! Diolch!

I thought so at least! And it seems to flow in sentences well imho

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.

This has just occurred to me -

How would you folks feel about a survey asking for terms which you'd like to see Welsh equivalents for if there aren't already?

Something like a Google Form where you can suggest terms you would like to see translated. E.g. as far as I'm aware there's not yet terminology for detransitioning or retransitioning, for example.
