    Are there any spanish people? Is it based on person’s gender or the following word’s gender?

    e.g. in Russian, “nebinarniy chelovek” means nonbinary human but in male declension because the word human itself is male, and “nebinarnaya persona” is female because the word person is female. We also have “nebimarnoye litso” where “litso” is face or a person and it’s a third gender literally called soulless and beloved by police and lawyers because its dehumanizing

      Interesting! It’s based on the subject’s gender. In spanish, human is male and person is female as well, but we don’t have a third gender.
