It reminds me of the atheists of northern Ireland getting asked, yes but which atheist are you, Catholic or protestant?
It was implemented when gendered languages developed a few thousand years ago, neutral words in english (binary) are gendered in other languages (e.g.: binario/binaria in spanishas well). Americans tried to fix the issue for latinos/latinas by coming up with latinx/latine and similar modifications to gendered spanish words, but it was wholly rejected by actual latin-americans.
Haha what the fuck. Who implemented that oh my god.
Genuine question though. That cannot be grassroots, can it? Because it completely defeats the purpose of that. Did this just come up because someone _had_ to translate the english culture war during news reporting?
