It is done... I finally translated The Guide™ since some people were interested and I also promised it to @zoyazoy. Here's the original one in Czech and here's some embroidery patterns.
There might be some typos or mistakes, sorry for that, I had to look up some terms and I've got no clue if they're correct.
#!!!!!#Beautiful!!!#Czech folk clothing is amazing#Always so detailed and full of things#I mean all folk clothing but czech is special#Folklore

hello! i do not mean to be rude when i ask this, i am just curious as a neo-pronouns user and polyglot. i saw your last anon, and i just wanted to understand- what is the “linguistic” stance on neo-pronouns? (I was a bit confused by the last paragraph of your response and i wanted to better understand) /gen
i can't speak for the field at large but my personal stance is that neopronouns are fucking cool!
linguistically, pronouns usually fall into what is called a "closed category" of words—that is, there's not a lot of new material, and it can be hard to make new ones stick. think of something like articles in english: all we've got is a/an and the. innovation doesn't really happen in that grammatical space. (note that "closed" is a descriptor, not a mandate. nobody's checking IDs on that gate.)
neopronoun users are therefore facing a double challenge: to be socially recognized as valid in a world that is often hostile to gender innovation, and to have their pronoun paradigm(s) adopted as natural. many people struggle with learning neopronouns from simple lack of exposure because it does take practice to be able to use an uncommon paradigm fluidly regardless of your intentions.
so yeah please keep on keepin' on. it's not an easy battle to fight, but the more we're exposed to the concept and practice, the more likely it is to become accepted both socially and grammatically.
#I've seen many linguists act shitty regarding neo-pronouns and gender-neutral pronouns in gendered languages#And tbh I just don't get it?#Languages are supposed to fit their speakers' reality#And it's never wrong adapting languages to your comfort and needs#I understand when linguists point out how they're “unruly” or whatever#But a linguist should never duscourage disctintive and harmless evolution of a language#Ok thanks for coming to my talk lol#Just languages
