    Im not sure if you understood exactly so just to clarify and as a Czech speaker Im sure you have the same thing of like you can transform автор (author, grammatical gender male) into авторка (authoress?,). Or like in english waiter-waitress, actor-actress. That is what the Russian Supreme Court has banned.

      Idk if it’s a ban per se, it’s a trait of the LGBT movement that they’re banning. The point is to bring it up I guess and see if they like queer people, and if you have enough traits you will be censored

        Well yes, but you realize it’s not a LGBTQ thing? These are regular suffixes that everybody uses in their speech. I suppose you could make an argument that they are used more extensively by socially liberal people, but its rly not something that’s indicative of political beliefs or affiliation. It is flat out ridiculous.

          Yeah obviously, but the point of displaying them next to our name or bio is obviously a pro LGBT thing, and a feminist visibility thing (another thing they scare monger over)
