I’m hella gay in German. Like no shit, Berlin twink in a piss club gay. Totally down for it, it’s crazy how a new language is helping me reject all the “you have to be straight” nonsense my Anglo brain has.

    My Swedish and Anglo brain are pretty similar I think. I've been taught to say please and shit as I have :ukkk: inlaws who kept giving me weird looks if I just answered a question with yes or no.

    But it is about as much of a difference from my "proper" speaking voice and thought patterns and my native dialect (have to switch as a lot of people simply do not understand me). Think it is more that I associate ways of speaking with certain situations than something inherent in the language.
