I've been to #Italy and had conversations with cool #Damanhur friends about this, can confirm it's actually true. Italian and Greek remain the two most #binary #languages I'm aware of. Don't get me started on how that impacts #culture- those tropes exist for a reason 😜

In Italian, the word for "non-binary" is "non binario" or "non binaria", depending on the person's gender.

@pospi as an Italian I can confirm that. I didn'r know about Greek though! I studiet ancient greek in school and they had neuter. I thought they mantained it in modern Greek too!

@pospi I wonder how do #Español and #Français handle this... I speak both, and I don't know :(
