Yea, the intention's good, but as a native Romanian speaker (same language family), I gotta say, that shit ugly. We need smth else. It's super tricky with gendered languages
Isn't there an attempt to repurpose @ for gender-neutral? Looks awkward, too
The @ is just a fancy a, so i don't think it's a good idea, generally i don't think it's a good idea to use any letter or symbol that doesn't match at all our languages, it just feel to forced and most of those "solutions" include a group but exclude another big group: people with dyslexia, but also those with dysorthographia at times;
My take is: we ditch one of the 2 genres and we have only one, or we add a thirdy one with a nicer sound than shit like -x, -ə or -u which is kinda hard tbh, maybe we can take a letter from some other alphabet?
Digching one of the genders looks better, but it will spark a huge war over which one to exclude (and I can totally understand that, at least from the side of women that are excluded by default in many languages)
Yeah, that's the main problem with that idea sadly, the third neutral gender is a good one too but it's hard to pull off something decent...that's the problem with forcing a change on a language .-.
