Gender and Sexuality
Foreword[edit]
This is a page by CarlmanZ about Anglicizing various words and terms about gender and sexuality into Anglish. This page is a heavy WIP, so please excuse any faults for the time being.
This page is less about historical accuracy, and more about what is to be considered (by the author) as æsthetically pleasing.

Alternatives:
All instances of ‘wife’ with ‘woman’, and vice versa. ‘wifely’ to ‘womanly’, ‘wived’ to ‘womanned’, and so on. If you go this route, it is recommended to to the same with ‘were’ and ‘wane’ to their counterparts.
All instances of ‘-fuck’ with ‘-lust’. ‘fuckhood’ to ‘lusthood’, ‘-fucker’ to ‘-luster’, and so on. It may no longer be a swear, but it has added alliteration appeal.
