Welp I gotta do the annoying gendering reminders.

Mexican queer culture uses the -e to replace gendered words, as in: Hola amige, tu eres muy bonite.

This follows the rules of the Latin language on which Spanish is based. People might still call it incorrect, but that'd be no different than the idiots who think 'they' can't be singular in English.

  • I feel ya, I don't live in Mexico or speak Spanish super regularly anymore but my sister and I try to make a point of using it when we talk to each other. Also, if you watch Drag Race Mexico, I've noticed a lot of them use the terms quite naturally (though they speak hella fast so might be difficult for a learner). Good luck!
