Welsh Gender Neutral Family Terms

We've come up with some gender neutral Welsh family terms in the LGBTQIA+ Welsh discord I run (dm for link) lately and so far people seem to like the terms. So, this is an introduction to some of the terms we've come up with so far.

I plan to make polls eventually with these terms and any other suggestions you might have and run a little tournament to see which terms are favoured most by Welsh speaking LGBTQIA+ people.

Without further ado, here are the terms:

(f. = feminine grammatical gender, m. = masculine grammatical gender)

Chwaed(ion) f. - Sibling(s)

[‘chwaer’ (sister) + ‘brawd’ (brother). Rhymes with ‘gwaed’ (blood), reminiscent of family ties]

Chwaerydd m. - Sibling

['chwaer' + '-ydd' (masculine suffix) ]

Chwaed fy mam / fy nhad - Aunt/Uncle (Literally, my mother’s/father’s sibling)

 [Literal translation (my mother’s / father’s sibling) ]

Naith f. - Niece/Nephew

[‘nith’ (niece) + ‘nai’ (nephew) ]

Dain (Deiniau) f. - Grandparent(s)

[‘taid’ (grandfather)+ t > d + ‘nain’ (grandmother) ]

Nam-gu f.- (Grandparent)

['fy nhad-cu' + 'fy mam-gu']

Of course, these are only suggestions. So far, chwaed has been very popular and dain has been preferred over nam-gu because it's less South Walian. But I'm interested to hear what you think or hear if you have any suggestions of your own!

Please share this post so we can get a larger sample size. Diolch!

NB:

These terms have come from multiple users, so bear that in mind with feedback. I can pass on suggestions to the users who coined them.

Grammatical gender is unavoidable in Welsh, but grammatical gender does not necessarily equal gender gender. E.g. the German word for girl 'maedchen' is grammatically neutral. In addition to this, certain suffixes in Welsh are gendered, which affects how words behave in certain sentences.

Taith Gomedi New Welsh Wave gyda lein-yp gwych yn Pontio!

Kiri Pritchard-McLean sy’n cyflwyno noson gyda’r gorau o gomedi Cymreig a thalentau anhygoel sydd wedi eu meithrin yn y wlad, yn cynnwys Bella Humphries, Cerys Bradley, Siân Docksey ac Anna Thomas fel rhan o daith o Gymru gan Little Wander.

Mae Kiri Pritchard-McLean, yn ddigrifwr stand-yp sydd wedi ennill sawl gwobr, yn awdur ac yn ddychanwr. Mae ei hymddangosiadau teledu diweddar yn cynnwys arwain Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You, 8 Out of 10 Cats a The Russell Howard Hour (y mae hi hefyd yn ysgrifennu ar ei gyfer). Mae hefyd yn gyfrannwr cyson i New World Order Frankie Boyle. Yn aelod rheolaidd o’r sîn comedi byw, mae sioe ddiwethaf Kiri, Home Truths, wedi teithio ledled y DU gan ddenu adolygiadau gwych.

Bydd Kiri yn cyflwyno pedwar comedïwr di-guro ar y 9 Fawrth, gan gynnwys Bella Humphries, comediwr a chaiff ei disgrifio fel ‘dymunol mewn ffordd ddigywilydd’, wrth iddi adrodd hanesion am symud i Gymru a gofyn yr hen gwestiwn … pwy yn union ydw i? Mae Cerys Bradley yn ddigrifwr stand-yp amgen awtistig ac anneuaidd ac (yn dechnegol) yn athrawes mathemateg. Mae wedi ennill yr Autistic Excellence Award yn yr Edinburgh Fringe 2022. Ar ôl treulio’r Edinburgh Fringe yn gwneud dawnsio polyn yn ddoniol i adolygiadau gwych mae Siân Docksey yn dychwelyd at ei brand unigryw o stand-up hwyliog rhyfedd gyda zing gwleidyddol. Swrrealaeth offbeat a llinellau miniog yn cael eu cyflwyno gyda holl swyn stiwardes awyr. Yn wreiddiol o Borth Tywyn yn ne Cymru, enillodd Anna Thomas wobr y BBC New Comedy Award yn 2021. Ers hynny, mae hi wedi cefnogi pobl fel Joe Lycett, Kiri Pritchard-McLean, Hal Cruttenden, Lauren Pattison, a Max Fosh. Enwebwyd Anna hefyd ar gyfer gwobr Sean Lock gyntaf Channel 4 yn 2023. Dywedodd Osian Gwynn, Cyfarwyddwr Celfyddydau Pontio, ‘Rydym yn edrych ymlaen i gael rhai o gomediwyr gorau Cymru yma gyda ni yn Stiwdio Pontio fel rhan o daith ehangach New Welsh Wave. Mae yna egni gyffrous o gwmpas y comedïwyr yma ac mae’r lein-yp yn dyst i dalent eang y sîn gomedi yma yng Nghymru.”

Mae Taith Gomedi New Welsh Wave Little Wander gyda Kiri Pritchard-McLean, Bella Humphries, Cerys Bradley, Siân Docksey ac Anna Thomas yn Stiwdio Pontio ar Nos Sadwrn 9 Mawrth, 7.30pm a chynelir y noson drwy gyfrwng y Saesneg. Tocynnau ar gael ar pontio.co.uk

LGBTQIA+ Vocabulary in Welsh!

Hey, everyone! Since I'm a queer Welsh person, I figured it was important I share some of the common queer terminology we use in our day to day lives, but in Welsh! Enjoy!!

Lesbian - Lesbiaidd

Gay - Hoyw

Bisexual - Deurywiol

Transgender - Trawsryweddol

Pansexual - Panrywiol

Non-binary - Anneuaidd

Queer - Cwiar (Can also be seen just as queer)

Questioning - Cwestiynu

All the information on this post has come from Stonewall, who's page has more terms than what I'm sharing here. Please take a look if that interests you. Also, feel free to share any additions or corrections! <3

Llongyfarchiadau mawr i Owen Hurcum, a wnaeth hanes heddiw wrth ddod yn Maer Bangor, y Maer Anneuaidd cyntaf yng Nghymru ac efallai yn y byd!

Congratulations to Owen Hurcum, who made history today by becoming Mayor of Bangor, the first openly Non-Binary Mayor of Wales and maybe the first openly Non-Binary Mayor in the world!

Mayor Owen Hurcum said on their Twitter:

When I came out two years ago I was so worried I'd be ostracized by my community or worse. Today my community elected me Mayor of our great City. The youngest ever Mayor in Wales. The first ever openly Non-Binary Mayor of any city anywhere. Beyond humbled, Diolch Bangor
