    The male form doubles as gender neutral. Some people have tried to start using -e ending, but I’m pretty sure basically no one actually uses it.

    Edit: Gotta love the dualing anecdote replies.

      e ending is what I’ve seen from gender non conforming spanish-as-first-language speakers most often. I’m gonna go with it until it starts being overwhelmed with something else, languages being living things and them being the people who I see as having any right to determine this bit.

      As someone who is native of a romance language, I would prefer using the male form. It doesn’t feels 100%, but it’s worth it.
