when people attack trans* ppl for “making up words” like genderqueer and etc, makes me wonder where they think words actually come from. is it god? does god make the words? or perhaps some sort of mischievous river spirit

as a linguistics major I can confirm that it is in fact a mischievous river spirit

Strange women lying in rivers distributing words is no basis for a system of language.
