Hello,
As an Spanish speaker too I didn't notice it at first when reading
the documentation and feels weird that it's deliberately "usuaria"
instead of "usuario".
For example, in Argentina, only 8% of the population uses inclusive
language:
https://www.diariodecultura.com.ar/columna-izquierda/solo-el-8-de-la-poblacion-utiliza-el-lenguaje-inclusivo-con-frecuencia/
Couldn't find more statistics on the matter.
Not only using "usuaria" it's exclusive but it's also grammatically
incorrect, the proper way would be using "usuario" which includes
all genders and "usuario y usuaria", but it is too verbose IMHO.
For example:
- "Cuentas de usuario"
- "Cuentas de usuario y usuaria"
The latter one is used a lot by the Venezuelan government when
they try to be inclusive, but it's tiring to the reader and
doesn't provide additional context.
>Swapping masculine forms with their feminine counterpart and pretending
>they're neutral creates a problem on top of a problem.
Completely agree.
