Right? like I literally have no clue!!!

We adopted the word "gay" in English to use it as the Spanish version of "gay."

So even gay in Spanish is said and pronounced as "gay".

I would have to learn what the word would be for someone who'd consider themselves a non-binary because I've not lived in Mexico since the 1990's and a lot of these language changes have been happening/imposed from the 2020's.

Heres a breadcrumb for you, Spanish defaults to masculine:

The masculine form is used to refer to mixed groups of males and females. Thus, depending on the context, los muchachos can mean either the children or the boys. Las muchachas can refer only to the girls.

I found that so truthful, I had to gif it THREE TIMES!!!!

😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol so then when in doubt just use the masculine
