Cerith Freeman :
I’m not a native German speaker but “Wende” still means change or turning point in German so I could imagine “Wendemann” and “Wendefrau” being used in another reality

ella 🧃 :
i like this idea at all! however, i definitely think that wendman would likely be reinterpreted in a modern context as being masculine despite being gender neutral, much in the way that words like plowman have been. perhaps today trans people would be called wendfolk

this whole concept is really cool, something you could consider with the nb version is that complex consonant structures got reversed sometimes so maybe it would be closer to næwtikand

ella 🧃 :
also, in just now reading about this after seeing ur video, i came across the word wæpenwifestre in thomas wright’s 1884 anglo-saxon and old english vocabularies, meaning hermaphrodite. i can’t find any examples of it in use from the anglo saxon period but wright purports it was from the vocabulary of a certain abbot aelfric, which i need to do more digging into. anyways, i thought it was interesting 😁

Natwickened would go over so well in Boston. “I’m non binary hope you’re okay with that.” “Nah it’s wicked!”

non-binary might fit into the Victorian term "third kind" or "third gender" better, and that might translate easier?

"man" at the end of a word has always been an person. Like Airman or Postman. That's why I think its dumb changing to postperson and why the Navy refused the change.

ein Tian 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 :
German here, wende as well as Kind are still used in Germany. Wenden, as was already said, means to change or turn around and Kind means child in German so wendekind would be a turning/reversed child

okay I've just convinced myself that non binary would be the equivalent of "alternative type" (gender of course coming from a weird meaning kind/sort/type) or more simply, otherkin
