I think the language analogy is actually very apt, because not every has to understand it, but the people you want to speak French with necessarily have to know it. Otherwise it just doesn’t fulfil any purpose.

Also, because gender is a social construct, it requires that enough people understand it to a sufficient degree.
Frisian is an entirely different beast, and even speaking Dutch doesn’t help you that much to make sense of it.
There are a bunch of expressions in Dutch, some even overlapping with English (like all hands on deck/alle hens aan dek). I could think of five to ten off the top of my head, so I imagine there are a lot more that aren’t as obvious.
The creator of the video pointed out one good joke in the special, and sure enough - it’s about himself lol. So yeah, even when he manages to be funny on purpose he’s still the joke.
Not trying to counter your point, but female athletes that don’t dope don’t ever become super muscular. Like, look at Khelif. She has just proven she is the best in the world in a combat sport, and she still doesn’t look muscular to the point of looking male. The transphobes mainly came at her because her face isn’t super feminine, which doesn’t really have anything to do with boxing.
I occasionally hear women saying they don’t want to do workouts that target their upper body, and I’m always baffled because it’s not like they’ll ever even slightly look like a dude lol.
“Haha I don’t exercise” irks me in a way few other things do. Like, fair deuce if you don’t want to exercise, but acting like it’s super quirky and funny gives me a certain impression I really dislike.
It’s a good way to look like you’re working

Also, fun fact: Jeroom’s partner is Élodie Ouédraogo, an Olympic gold medalist.
Right, I must’ve overlooked that. My bad.
You can easily use it with Nextcloud, to name one example. So yeah, it’s a good suggestion.
They’re different tools, just use them alongside each other.
The Waterlilies on display at the Orangerie is one of the best art installations I’ve ever seen.
Clearly not the point of OP’s question though
+1 for starting out with Proxmox! I’m about to switch my main server over to it, and I wish I started out using it. I’ve played around with it for a while on a second server, and being able to use snapshots and Proxmox backups from the start would’ve saved me so much time.
And it won’t ever be true until you can pick up a PC running Linux in a big box store. I could see the Steam Deck (and Valve’s rumoured upcoming console) to make a dent in the PC gaming space, but it won’t make a difference to the purchasing decisions of your your aunt who uses her pc to check her emails.
Should corporate buyers ever get tired of MS’ shenanigans they might switch over to Ubuntu, but I’m not holding my breath for that.
I mean, I guess there’s a point to that, but isn’t there inevitably a social aspect to it? Especially in this post, where the person is saying others don’t have to understand it, meaning it’s clearly outwardly visible and part of who they are.
I’m not saying you should seek approval from anyone (for your gender nor anything else), because that’ll never happen. But denying the importance of some social acceptance for things in the social sphere is kind of weird, and feels like a “haha, unless…?” thing; you want others to understand and accept it, but the moment you don’t their acceptance becomes irrelevant and you never sought any acceptance at all. It feels like an unhealthy way to cope with rejection.
