When learning a language, you don't do literally everything by the book. In the real world you have to figure it out and extrapolate from incomplete information, and sometimes you get it a bit wrong.

From a few minutes playing on an autotranslator, it appears that Norwegan uses the same word for male/man and female/woman. Like the noun and adjective versions are the same word with different conjugations. A Norwegan learning english as a second language can quite reasonably be unaware that there is a distinction there.

It's pretty normal to use male and female when specifying gender as an adjective. Man and woman are nouns. Calling a professional a female manager, or male teacher is normal english grammar. Using male or female as a noun is the red flag, which upon re-reading they also do... hmmmm

But OP constantly genders the channel instead of the creator which feels more non-native english speaker to me. They post about european stuff and in norwegean. Don't read too much into it.

Probably, not that I've tried or anything. Some countries do have an approval process, I don't think the US is one of them. Besides the US is 50 tiny countries wearing a very large trenchcoat, and each one of the states maintains their own records and has there own process for name changes.

If one state refuses you can just move to one that's more permissive if it matters that much.

I have driven a lot in the west, and what you see is just automobile infrastructure, which is pretty much the same everywhere and incredibly ugly.

The interesting sites require you to hike away from the roads.

You can live your life however you like, and you can be trans however you like. There is no trans checklist, no trans authority mandating you do all the things and fill out all the forms. There are no rules or requirements. Be yourself. Do whatever suits you best!

I am not a christian. I am not familiar with the specifics of its teachings, but I do know people who are both trans and christian. A friend of mine is a devout christian who found a way to reconcile his faith with trans issues after one of his children came out. These differences are reconcilable, and you'll surely find it in time.

Hi Amber, I wish you the best!

Dumb drivers could just take the middle highway backwards to save time because the highways are magical.

Rebecca Purple is a nice name. Too bad I've already filled out a petition at the county courthouse with a different one. :-/
