Slightly relevant : in my language (french) there is a distinction between a formal and informal "you" (tu/vous). I didn't know how to adress my in laws, so for several years I twisted sentences to avoid saying "you" altogether. Like I would say "do I make a coffee" or something like that instead of "do you want a coffee".

Some languages have gendered conjugations, I think Slavic tongues do that.

Other ones simply don't have a default neutral pronoun, so to say.

Image appears broken :(

But, as for the title, I speak Spanish and I would do that too after my egg broke and couldn't socially transition yet!

Oh, I did that for a bit before coming out fully. I got really good at making it sound normal. Then it took a months to shift back to gendering myself (properly of course).

What language was it? French works like that too: shifting to verbs that don't have an audible variant, overusing passive voices, etc.
