    I've thought about it and this is my stupid uneducated opinion: the way it's going, I think it will be introduced to everyday vernaculars on a word-by-word basis, specifically, I think gender-neutral words that address crowds in some way will become normalized first (e.g. compañeres, amigues, etc). Obviously reactionaries will always protest this, but consider that there's also pushback against prescriptivism. Institutional pushback against prescriptivism even. Despite AMLO being kind of tepid in these aspects, the official textbooks for elementary school children specifically goes against prescriptivism. As in, they don't state "using word is wrong" and "using word is right". Exciting stuff is being cooked in Mexico and the rest of latinamerica, language-wise.

      Hell, I use 'they' all the time in English because I'm just lazy. That's how gender neutrality wins.
