No more "los gatos"!
Lxs gatxs has so much more of a latin ring to it. (/s)
Spanish is being obliterated by lXs que lo hablan peor.

- readthenotes1 4y agoI think you have finally hit upon the solution to the pronoun problem. In almost no case till I care about the express sexuality of the person for whom I am using a pronoun and I resent having to be forced to care about their self-centered nature, being self-centered myself. However, instead of saying "he is wearing a weird hat", I can say "that cat is wearing a weird hat" And I don't have to worry about it. Gracias.

- blahblah1234567 4y ago"Spanish is being obliterated by white people." Spanish is being obliterated by a very small minority of politically biased and likely neo-marxist-propaganda-influenced young people.
