No binarie el compañere.

EDIT: la compañere? Shit, back to square one.
Le compañere? Maybe. Articles in Spanish are rigidly male or female, the gender sometimes determines the difference between identical words.

El radio: the metal radium / La radio: the radio (AM, FM, shortwave, etc.)
El cometa: the comet / La cometa: the kite

Jokes aside, I think the correct one should be "binaria" because it's "persona no-binaria", where "persona" being a female-gendered word still includes everybody (persono doesn't even exist).

Really, if you replace "gender of the person" to "gender of the noun", ChatGPT is correct.

It's people who can be little more picky about pronouns and stuff

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Precisely. It is “el género no binario” or “la persona no binaria”. It has nothing to do with the person, just the nouns. As “binario/a” is an adjective, it has no gender on its own.

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This legitimately trips up learners. How if the noun is female, it's correct to use feminine articles/pronouns/etc regardless of the person's gender, even if you know they're male. (or vice-versa).

That and plurals defaulting to male.

Native speaker here and no, that wouldn't be correct as a general rule. The most typical would be talking about or someone else like "yo soy no binario/a" and "yo" would be a he or a she depending on who is saying that. If you're talking about someone else it's "el/ella es no binario/a" for example.

I'm digging how Japanese is just context based. The same sentence that says "He's cool" is the same as "She's cool" and "It's cool." What changes its meaning is the context you're using it in.

Because what could possibly go wrong by inferring everything based on context?

WWII war crimes, apparently

Italian has all sorts of conjugations to not leave it to context, we can rule that theory out

Turkish has only one third person pronoun that encompasses he/she/it. Gender is similarly indicated with contextual clues.
