Ok I don't speak Spanish but I have enough experience with translating to know that google translate Sucks Balls on average and I'm not about to let google translate circulate. So. Spanish speakers anyone following me? Can anyone tell me what the actual equivalent terminology to nonbinary is?

(look I haven't been using this account for anything lately because I've been putting all the Important Shzt on. The other big account. So like. Idk this is a social experiment I'm gonna call it a social experiment-)

#I could go on like an entire rant about how much google translate sucks and people have way too much faith in it istg #Like if you ever use it while knowing more than just English and try to translate into something you already know you'll just like.#The illusion wears off immediately you'll like instantly be able to tell #“Wait a minute. That word doesn't mean That”#Sometimes it's barely even a “well depending on the context” thing like.#I've had it just fxck up words in ways that shouldn't have been possible 😭😭😭 sometimes it's just like.#“This was so clearly designed by anglophones” moment like. When I had it translate 赤子 into عزیزم #Like tell me you only know English and thought that every language was just English in a different hat without telling me-#Fudging. Idk would anyone like to hear me rant about translation??-#(People think AI will replace everyone and the machines will do our jobs and they're either optimistic or pessimistic about that)#(But fubkign. Google translate has literally not improved in like a decade I think my translation skills are going to be relevant)#(It's literally just the arrogant ignorance of humanity thinking they can replace us with a pale imitation knowing nothing about our craft)
