I did! I rarely speak in spanish when I’m on the internet (unless it’s with known people with whom I can safely use gendered language because I know them), but when I do, I tend to use it because it’s easier than having to ask what your preferred gender is. It also makes it easier to spot the people I don’t want to talk with because they will quickly get offended because woke.
The “@” is sometimes used because it’s made of an “o” and an “a” making it somewhat both at the same time, but it presents a very obvious problem: how do you say it? Because we call that symbol “arroba” and saying “encantadarroba” sounds weird AF. Just switch the vowel for an “e” and be done with it. In italian there’s the “schwa”: ə" that serves the same function, it’s harder to type because it’s not usually found on keyboards, but whatever, if being inclusive and pissing bigots takes so little effort, I’m gonna try and use it as much as possible, even if it’s still something that takes some effort to apply at times because of the interiorized grammar that you have to unlearn.
Edit: forgot to add, bigots get angry about it because you are “desecrating the sacred language” or shit like that. But you know how it is, they are the biggest snowflakes ever.
wow, u actually use gender neutral spanish?

-e ending is much better than the “@” I’ve seen done. Can’t imagine getting worked up about it though.
