Yes, universities in Spanish speaking countries push it. The university of Buenos Aires recently ruled students could use made up genders in their assignments. We're basically where the US was in 2015, with liberal academia acting up and mainstream culture brushing it off as "just some college kids" who will change when they go into "the real world".

Argentinian youths are using "e" as a neutral gender in addition of the traditionally masculine/neutral "o" and the feminine "a". They write things like "les hijes" instead of "los hijos".

In Spain, the minister of equality (a communist by conviction), became a bit of a laughinstock in a campaign event for using made up genders. I think that's a mistake. We laugh now but we've seen how they've taken over in America. Laughing at them doesn't stop them.

Isn't this causing the rise of the far right as a reaction, like it does in Sweden and other countries?
