Same in Mexico though in El Salvador it’s referred to beating someone up if spoken as a verb. I got really confused when a Salvadorean guy was telling me he fucked another guy only to find out it was actually in the context of a fight.
Exactly! I would add that you can still use “no binario” or “no binaria” in a (somewhat) respectful manner. For instance, you can say “persona no binaria” (non binary person), “comunidad no binaria” (non binary community), because both nouns are feminine, you can use the feminine alteration of “no binario”. For masculine I would go with “su género es no binario” (its gender in non binary), since gender is masculine and “su” doesn’t imply any gender at all.
Again, not an expert just another fellow native Spanish speaker with a bit of a geekiness about languages.
I think the e thing sounds fucking stupid, however if that makes people happy, so be it, language is supposed to evolve over time, the e is only annoying if you actively oppose to it (or are in a position where you’re not allowed to make mistakes)
This isn’t entirely true either. The adjective “binario” has to agree with the gender of what’s being talked about, either the grammatical gender of the noun or the natural gender of the person. A salient example could be the noun “piloto”. Just as adjectives inflect for gender so do pronouns, so you can say “el piloto” or “la piloto” depending on the natural gender of the person, and inflect adjectives accordingly.
Grammatical gender and natural gender are both distict concepts that impact gender inflection in spanish.

the dick = la pinga, which is female
the pussy = el bollo, which is male
until next time, friends! 👋
In Colombia it’s verga for dick and chimba for pussy. Both are feminine.
Tiene nombres mil.
This is just great! Tienes nombres mil el miembro viril has to be a new saying that gets used in regular speech

The solution is pretty simple:
Instead just saying “soy no binario/no binaria” people have to say “soy una persona no binaria”
Or soy un humano no binario. 😝
Yup.
Many Latinos refuse to use “e” when the “o” is already neutral. Better improve your Spanish grammar than changing it.

Hey, at least it’s better than whatever the fuck Latinx is, so I ain’t complaining.
That was insightful. Thank you
