I attended a talk at a nursing convention on how to make LGBT+ feel comfortable. This was on one of the pages and I started giggling. Enough with the letters, a + is more than OK.

@freemo I know some people who so far, they try to make Spanish gender neutral. Last I remember, English became gender neutral by accident.

This one lady listed herself as Latinx once. Nevermind that makes no sense in the native tongue.:P

@LWFlouisa English has always been gender neutral. The gender neutral pronoun to use is "he", which also can exist as a non-neutral pronoun.

@freemo I see the confusion. By gender I mean like when language use either feminine the or masculine the, depending on the object's gender.

Ex. La Pizza. Or in Rot 13, yn.

(When I do conlangs, sometimes the gender is the same, but simply shifted 13 spaces.) Ex. Quinzie Fry va Quv Gerfuf.

@freemo Yes that was a Rot13 pun on "Damnsel in distress."

@freemo For context, often times I study how English will evolve into different languages:

Ex.

Shu nuny sn ihd eni shu pn evolving from: Sunny side is up.
