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.

    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.
