Everyone is different. Some people who are non binary but lean/present as feminine might use feminine words, but others I’ve seen use the masculine because they think modifying the grammar is complicated.

I personally use the gender-neutral modified language, like using elle in Spanish.

    That makes sense! I generally don’t care what I’m called (he or she), but I prefer neutral language. I used to hate (but not as much now) gendered terms such as “What’s up my man?” Or “This man”.

      Yeah, I quite like “what’s up my man?”, but I’m not a fan of “this man”.

      I generally enjoy feminine stuff as well, simply because it’s different, but I prefer neutral.

        For the languages I’m learning:

        Spanish, I generally prefer terms like elle (they), amigue (friend, gender neutral), etc.

        Similarly, elu with Portuguese

        Dukaisms with Polish

        And hen for Norwegian

        I’m fine with “my man” now :)

        In 2021, I struggled with intense dysphoria which caused me to feel bad every time someone mentioned things like male parts, or gendered language.
