    No binarie el compañere.

    EDIT: la compañere? Shit, back to square one.
    Le compañere? Maybe. Articles in Spanish are rigidly male or female, the gender sometimes determines the difference between identical words.

    Jokes aside, I think the correct one should be "binaria" because it's "persona no-binaria", where "persona" being a female-gendered word still includes everybody (persono doesn't even exist).

    Really, if you replace "gender of the person" to "gender of the noun", ChatGPT is correct.

    It's people who can be little more picky about pronouns and stuff

    Precisely. It is “el género no binario” or “la persona no binaria”. It has nothing to do with the person, just the nouns. As “binario/a” is an adjective, it has no gender on its own.

    I'm digging how Japanese is just context based. The same sentence that says "He's cool" is the same as "She's cool" and "It's cool." What changes its meaning is the context you're using it in.

    Because what could possibly go wrong by inferring everything based on context?
