I'm Peruvian and married to a Colombian and have never heard of this. On the other hand, right across the Hispanic world it's very common to use @ for gender neutrality: nosotr@s, latin@s, etc.

Interesting, how do you pronounce those words with the @ in them?

  It's only for written communication. When speaking you either use the gender neutral(male) form, or a conjunction of both. e.g.: "latinos y latinas"

That's so much more elegant! What's the proper pronunciation for those words?

> I'm Peruvian and married to a Colombian and have never heard of this. That’s not surprising, since it’s purely a product of “woke” culture in the USA, and the only people who use it are either multiple generations removed from their “ancestral” country, or have degrees in social sciences from Ivy League universities (or both).

That's pretty genius IMO, given how the @ symbol looks a bit like both an 'a' and an 'o'.
