As is apparent, Spanish is a gender-based language. In 2004 the word \u201cLatinx\u201d was created as a gender-neutral term, and some Spanish-speakers prefer to use elle<\/strong> instead of \u00e9l<\/strong> or ella<\/strong>. Some people opt to use the \u201cat\u201d sign (a combination of o<\/strong> and a<\/strong>) when writing: novi@<\/strong>; however, it does not translate into spoken language. Because of the pervasiveness of grammatical gender within the language, it is very difficult to avoid gender-specific forms. Many people who identify as non-binary prefer to use an -e<\/strong> at the end of adjectives that would end in -o<\/strong> for masculine or -a<\/strong> for feminine.<\/p>\r\n
