When It Comes to Gender Pronouns, Hungary is the Most Progressive Country in the World
Everyone in the West knows how anti-democratic, authoritarian, repressive, xenophobic, homophobic, fascist, anti-semitic, and generally not nice the nation of Hungary is. In light of this, it will probably surprise many to know that there is one progressive issue in which Magyarország is literally light years ahead of its enlightened Western counterparts - that issue is gender pronouns. One could even go as far as to claim that when it comes to gender pronouns, Hungary stands among the 'wokest' nations on Earth.
Allow me to explain . . .
In Magyar (Hungarian):the nominative case for third person singular masculine is őthe nominative case for third person singular feminine is also őthe dative case for all genders is nekithe accusative case for all genders is őt or őtetthe singular possessive pronoun for all genders is ővéthe plural possessive pronoun for all genders is ővékthe formal nominative case third person for all genders is őn or magaand so on . . . Long story cut short, he/she, his/her, him/her - none of these exist in the Hungarian language. Everyone - regardless of the sex or gender 'assigned at birth' - gets the same gender neutral pronouns in Hungary. Everyone.
The gender-gifted, the gender fluid, the two spirits, the butches, the femmes, the gender blenders, the transpeople, the crossdressers and, yes, even good old regular men and women all get the same gender neutral pronouns in Hungary.
It makes no difference if you have a penis, wish you had one, or simply crave one - there's no need for gender specific pronouns like ze xe, per, or, ve because gender simply does not exist in Hungarian pronouns.
The only open question you would need to decide when you addressed someone else is whether or not you should address the person formally or informally.
Now how woke is that?
Note added: The gender confused should not take this as a cue to flock to Hungary in the hope of finding a Shangri-La of inclusivity and human rights. Quite the contrary. As any Western media source will happily inform you, this little landlocked country is hideously backward and bigoted in practically every other field of political correctness. Probably best to stay away and continue the good fight at home.
