But your initial post clearly implies that the use of gender in teaching Spanish is specifically a result of “white American middle school rules”.
You're inferring something that was in no way implied.
Here's what I wrote:
"Spanish" as a single language that follows rigid white-American-middle-school rules does not exist.
Here's what I meant:
Language doesn't follow those silly rigid rules that they push in American schools.
You know what happens when my friends from Spain, Puerto Rico, Argentina and Mexico get together?
After the first few minutes, someone uses a word the others don't know and they spend the next 20 minutes refreshing each other on their language differences.
But they're all speaking SPANISH.
Get it?
Then you went WAY off-topic, conflating “gender identity” with “grammatical gender”… which is what I and other posters here responded to.
