elodieunderglass:veighta:Winnie the Pooh loves your pronounsWinnie is short for Winnipeg, but it is used as a female name (Pooh is named after a female bear) and AA Milne questioned Christopher Robin, asking how the bear could be called Winnie when he is male. Christopher Robin replied that “it’s Winnie-THER-Pooh - don’t you know what ‘ther’ means?” Implying that the infix “ther” applies some kind of gender effect. What I am getting at here is that Pooh canonically has some kind of unique approach to gender and linguistics, and 2019 is the year to consider it. -- source link
