>you have to rely on thousands of different complex characters to tell words apart then your language is the opposite of efficient.
You're unironically retarded if you think that Chinese/Japanese speakers have to parse every possible meaning that a sentence could have because of homophones. Context and word frequency help disambiguate meaning. Besides, not every word is composed of a single syllable, plenty have more than one. You get used to patterns, and all that. Did you know that when you read, you don't look at each individual letter, but you look at the word as a whole? There's not that much difference between alphabets and hanzi/kanji, the latter is just more compact, but to your brain both represent concepts.

Of course you can make a sentence full of homophones that makes sense only when written out, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion-Eating_Poet_in_the_Stone_Den
but you can do the same in English too, with
>Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo
or
>James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher
and it's retarded to do in either language.

That's it, "m-muh gender on a piece of paper", that is otherwise completely inconsequential to your existence?

Marriage is a religious meme, you don't care about the sacrament, you only care about the secular rights. Just petition against the government and reform civil marriage.

Sounds like "trans privilege" to me! Maybe they should check that.

Imagine recoiling with
>reeeee transphobes
every time someone asks a question, and then wondering why you're social pariahs, lmao.

Post feet. Having girly feet is incredibly important, manly feet just ruin the aesthetic.
