It is rather odd to attempt gender neutrality in a language where every noun has a gender.

Gender isn't binary. It is when using Spanish nouns.
That's not true.

It was never true.

"Spanish" as a single language that follows rigid white-American-middle-school rules does not exist.

Gendering a language is a mental shortcut. Language is complex.

As is gender.
You are going to have to explain what you mean, instead of just throwing out tidbits that lean towards snottiness.
Agree.
I speak French fluently.

Every noun is "gendered." It is not related to human gender characteristics and identities.

A chair is female, la chaise
Cheese is male, le fromage
The words for breast and vagina are masculine.

There is no logic to it, these have to be memorized
when you learn the language.
This comes from Latin so you see it in romance languages, and in other languages as well.



I'm woth sekker on this. Let people call themselves what they like. The urge to judge it says more about the person doing the judging.
