@LWFlouisa English has always been gender neutral. The gender neutral pronoun to use is "he", which also can exist as a non-neutral pronoun.
@freemo Yes that was a Rot13 pun on "Damnsel in distress."
@freemo Dhvamvr Sel in dhi treshs. Essentially.
@freemo For context, often times I study how English will evolve into different languages:
Ex.
Shu nuny sn ihd eni shu pn evolving from: Sunny side is up.
@LWFlouisa Language is really cool to study for sure.
@LWFlouisa Yea i know what you mean. Takes different forms in different languages though.
@freemo I see the confusion. By gender I mean like when language use either feminine the or masculine the, depending on the object's gender.
Ex. La Pizza. Or in Rot 13, yn.
(When I do conlangs, sometimes the gender is the same, but simply shifted 13 spaces.) Ex. Quinzie Fry va Quv Gerfuf.
