I think that a lot of people believe on some level that everyone else works as they do. Even if they intellectually know this to not be true.
I can imagine that someone who struggled with their sexuality or gender can believe to see their own struggles in others. And like in your example if their personal solution was to "just get over their hang-ups" it makes sense that they see that also as a solution for others.
Another more annoying example would be those older people that are clearly in the closet saying stuff like "this is normal. Everybody has those urges/thoughts sometime."
Back to the topic of this being patronizing: I agree. Respect should go both ways. Even if one is 100% convinced someone is a member of the alphabet mafia and even if they are right in the end, one should respect them living their life as they want to as long as it does not negatively affect others in a major way of course (hateful or intolerant behaviors).
I had an acquaintance once who behaved very stereotypically flamboyantly gay. From voice to body language. The thing is he himself says he is not attracted to men at all. Has a wife and last I heard soon a child. At least to me as an outsider it looked clearly like they truly loved each other. He told me multiple stories of gay men trying to convince him he's gay or bisexual. Militantly so. Of course also stories of people being bigoted and assuming that he is gay.
Another story was something in a game community where a trans girl called someone who was clearly struggling with their gender identity feminine pronouns and even a feminine sounding name. Even though they said multiple times that they don't like it. I also talked with the trans girl that I didn't find this ok. In the end it turned out that they were indeed a trans woman. I still believe to this day the behavior was disrespectful at the time.
Sorry for the wall of text. I got a bit carried away.
I dunno why but I'm somehow bothered by the post on an emotional level. I do not want to accuse anybody, it's primarily my own issue of course.
The first thing I thought of was transgender men getting told to present feminine. I think nobody should be told how they should dress.
I know it's a meme and I am taking this a bit too seriously.
Anyways skirts are cool and can be cute and feminine like in the op or cool and masculine like a kilt. It's a very versatile garment everybody could wear more often.
I don't think that's how it works. Most compound words are nouns not verbs.
Also ass is "Arsch" not "Arse". You could say Arschlöscher, but if I heard this without context I would think of something that deletes asses.
If I would need to construct a noun that describes a bum bum that extinguishes fires I would say it should be "Löscharsch" maybe even "Feuerlöscharsch".
These are real words in the sense that German speaker should immediately understand them but you will not find them in a dictionary. That's what makes German different from many languages. We can make up understandable compound words on the fly.
When I was in school many notebooks came with a loose sheet to absorb the ink from our fountain pens. These are called "Löschpapier" (extinguishing paper).
A common joke was, to say you should toss the "Löschpapier" into a fire to extinguish it.
I tried it once. It burned quite well unfortunately.
I've seen long compound words in children's book recently. Could be real.
Some kids get hyper fixated on cool stuff like firefighters, cars, dinosaurs,... and love learning new words in that topic even or especially if they are complicated.
Sometimes those little brains can do a lot more than many give them credit for.
Ehh no. Germany never had that much nuclear in its energy mix. At most it was 10-15%. Compare that to France with their around 30-40% nuclear energy in the mix.
A USB standard is the primary reason? Why is that?
