Something similar happens nowadays in Spanish, where people use an X as a gender-neutral suffix. Ruining the experience for the visually impaired users that use screen readers. The irony of being 'inclusive' with the non-binary while being exclusive with the visually impaired

I very strongly doubt that this is "happening nowadays" since people speaking a language generally don't switch to using unpronouncable words in their daily affairs.
