I work in tech and the techy education I went through (not uni) was mildly woke (I live in the UK) and right now I can mostly brush it off without participating. Still gets on my nerves though.

I'm put off of art and language now because of the TRA bullshit. I may study online when I decide to attend uni, hopefully that will help a little.

Yes, I hate how the art community is plagued with gender identity crap---this is coming from a hobby artist. As for languages... I don't really notice that in language learning community except for English speaking? Maybe it's the particular languages I learnt or that I speak that are very "gender divided" so there is no room for "non-binary", or any of that crap really.

...I can relate to the tech job too. Mine was infected by TQ+ and super left wing politics ...every.damn.day. I'm out of there now though and in a different field at the moment.

If you're interested in non-infested language learning places, I have resources! :)

Oh yes please, I'd be interested in the resources.

English is my first language and while I know multiple languages, I want to study English language and linguistics. I just don't know how much of the future curriculum will be put towards TRA bullshit, and how much I'd have to censor myself if I choose to analyse something. I also adore philosophy and psychology, and I don't know, can we trust the latter these days?

I think the genderites in tech and uni need to learn to struggle in life a little lmao. There's more to life than accessorising your lack of personality with pronouns. (Not directed towards the people who have suffered sexual abuse or anything like that, I know gender can be an escape.)

What field are you in if you don't mind me asking?

I PMed you list of language learning resources I use/have used. :)

Sure, I studied for cpu engineering and it is my hobby fixing cpus and being a privacy advocate but I never finish degree so...I only get lower end tech support desk jobs. But new job is not tech related at all, it's administrative job... though it pays better than the TQ+ tech job.
