Inclusive language is the dumbest fucking thing anyone tried to do to the Spanish language. For those not familiar, Spanish is a gendered language, words ending in -o are male and words ending in -a are female (not a steadfast rule there are tons of exceptions). "Academics" with too much time want to change words to a gender neutral ending -e. And it sounds so fucking stupid.
Gender in words have to do with grammar, not sex. It is pretty much a classification. Other languages instead of using masculine/feminine use strong/weak. Again nothing to do with sex but grammar and which group they belong.
