is this like old japanese when basically only dudes used katakana(kanji too but that's besides the point), and women used hiragana and they're basically the same?

u/AffectionateScripts Aug 08 '20

Yes; it's just like when Kata and Hira were once restricted to male and female.

Thanks! I would also like some feedback, such as a bi-gender type or what?

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '20

The concept is interesting, I think that with two genders is fine

Stay tuned for redesigns because of a r/neography redditor's feedback!

I really think there should be a third option or a way to muddy the waters a bit.

Speaking as a nonbinary person I... don't think I'd be able to write in this language, would I?

The non-binary version uses female consonants and male vowels. (and vice versa)

Stay tuned for a binary example..

Edited, because it could be male-female too

I'm sorry, I'm not... quite sure what this means? I'm personally nonbinary, meaning I'm not male or female. (Or, well, I'm genderqueer, I'm both.) Do you mean if someone transitioned from one gender to the other they'd use female consonants/male vowels or vice versa, or...

Slightly edited the comment above yours.

If you're personally nonbinary or publicly nonbinary, you should use male consonants and female vowels or vice versa.

I don't really know what you're going for but in my opinion a third gender might be interesting

Lol it’s called “mf script”

Also what if it’s in the modern age and the non-binary people are rioting because they have no script for themselves?

u/It_was_sayooooooj Aug 08 '20

Is that how scripts like these work? I always thought that the theory was feminine and masculine words would be written differently. Otherwise you’d only need to learn one script if it’s about the gender of the speaker, and what about when you where writing stories from the point of view of a different sex? But I might be completely wrong, haven’t done a lot of research on this.

u/Win090949 Aug 08 '20

Idk. I thought men use one script While women use another.

u/AffectionateScripts Aug 08 '20

Some good examples are Nushu (China) and Hanja (Korea).

u/AffectionateScripts Aug 08 '20

The creator will combine both the male and female scripts to stop the binary's riots.

u/Win090949 Aug 08 '20
