Of the Air (cele/celes)

pronouns: cele/celes

Plural. This is why we use we. Trans{gender and species}.

We aren’t human, thank you!

We are also ace- and aro- spec, so don’t direct sexual or romantic things at us. Even if it’s meant as non-romantic or non-sexual just don’t say we are loved or you love us etc.

Don’t call yourself any familial (dad, mum etc) words at us, it is extremely traumatic for us.

  • We literally have seen black people say don’t take our words, and only black people can speak like this/say these words, are you saying they were wrong to want that?

    Also, cultures mixing doesn’t work like this, it isn’t taken, but given freely.

    Edit: As we said, it harkens back to a long history of colonialism and people taking things that aren’t theirs.

    Edit 2: Also, no, one culture only being allowed to use a langauge isn’t the source of its invalidation it’s ‘official’ forces like school, government etc not recognising it as a langauge, not people saying it shouldn’t be appropriated, you’re still welcome to learn and understand it, just don’t use it. It really is that simple.

    Edit 3: Also people online taking it and changing it to fit their own needs, using it to the point parody, not recognising that black people invented it, and saying it’s a ‘meme’ also invalidates it as a language. It’s literally a language they needed to create in order to survive, having it memeified is disgusting and misses its entire point.
