They have a council to remove foreign influence on their language. They also limit foreign players on their soccer teams and racially attack those who are. This is commonplace and I believe started when Gaul became the Kingdom of France. Of course the notions of ancient ancestors probably exist. The Japanese are even worse. Don't try speaking French around your average French person. They hate that.
My experience of the French is quite the opposite. What they find rude is when you DON'T attempt French. The minute you DO approach them with even the most ugly attempt at their beautiful mother tongue (that would be MY French I'm talking about), they respond quite pleasantly and quite fluently and helpfully in English. If, on the other hand, you approach them in English, they consider you rude and pretend not to speak it.
I have found the French to possess both the warmth of their Gaelic heritage and the sophistication of their - well, their FRENCH heritage. It's the english who are pigs and xenophobes - the French are merely good stewards of a heritage worth preserving.

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
