Brilliant Sarah. Good for people to understand what is happening and why we must reject the new repurposing of the language

Great read I am fully committed to not going down the trap of pronouns … we are in challenging times, enjoy your writing so keep up the good work.

You are amazing!! Will listen today. May I interview you on Let Kids Be Kids... parents and grandparents are telling me young children are dissing them for not using 'correct' pronouns!!!

Xx Sure Penny, ofc - those poor children. You might like this post I did a while back, it's a good bit just on language acquisition, very gentle intro, nice for parents and grandparents - maybe might give them a bit of internal permission to say no. As I listened back to the interview I thought right, it's time to start writing about this properly, methodically, as the working hypothesis it is, & I'm definitely keen for more discussion! ❤️❤️❤️https://sarahhenderson.substack.com/p/language-maps-are-called-tree-diagrams
