That Innes McKendrick is a trans dude , apparently . More often than not , people like that get triggered when they are told that there are only 2 genders . Crazy , I know xd <| sep |> Go panthers ! Woo ! <| sep |> Yahh , if people can ' t have sovereignty over their own bodies it ' s sad indeed . <| sep |> Any chance it was censored ? <| sep |> That ' s awesome ! Do you think they would mind if I contacted them ? I genuinley want to hear their experiences and yours ! I ' m aspiring to a be referee and judge , I would love to hear from guys that already made it . <| sep |> The word Kyle in American English has what ' s called a , which means it has three vowel sounds in the middle . If you think through them , your mouth goes kah , then ee , then ul . So it makes sense that we , as Americans , pronounce the ul separately . The original Irish name Caol is pronounced far more fluidly , and the tongue touches very lightly on the teeth . They keep the ai sound in their mouth the whole time and just barely put an L on the end of it . So they pronounce it with very clearly a single syllable . As you can see from this forum e x c h a n g e m a n y syllablesareinthewordhour , there is no one correct way to count the syllables . It depends on your pronunciation . I personally prefer the way my name sounds when Irish or even French people say it , with one syllable . But when I say it , it ' s closer to two .
