Argentina\u2019s President Javier Milei has banned gender-inclusive language in all official documents and public administration, the presidential spokesperson said Tuesday, as the far-right libertarian continues to implement his socially conservative agenda. <\/p>\n

The ban, effective immediately, will prohibit \u201cinclusive language and everything related to the gender perspective throughout the national public administration,\u201d\u00a0Manuel Adornis, spokesperson for the Casa Rosada, said in his daily press conference. <\/p>\n

Spanish is a gender-defined language where most nouns are given a masculine \u201co\u201d ending or a feminine \u201ca\u201d ending. In an effort to create gender-inclusive language in Spanish-speaking countries, there has been a push to use \u201cx,\u201d \u201ce,\u201d or \u201c@\u201d to create general-neutral nouns instead of using \u201co\u201d or \u201ca.\u201d For example, the gender-neutral term \u201cLatinx\u201d as opposed to the masculine \u201cLatino\u201d or feminine \u201cLatina.\u201d <\/p>\n

Going forward, \u201cit will not be possible to use the letter \u2018e,\u2019 \u200b\u200bthe \u2018@\u2019 sign, the \u2018x\u2019,\u201d Adornis said, adding that people should also \u201cavoid the unnecessary use of the feminine in all public administration documents.\u201d <\/p>\n

Adornis rejected the argument that gender-inclusive language covers all demographics of society, saying, \u201cthe language that covers all sectors is the one we use; it is the Castilian language, it is Spanish,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cGender perspectives\u201d have been used as a political tool, the spokesperson said. <\/p>\n

This announcement comes after gender-inclusive language was banned in the military following a resolution by the country\u2019s defense ministry. <\/p>\n

The debate around gender-neutral language has become a lightning rod in the culture wars in the Americas, with Milei previously railing against \u201cgender ideology\u201d \u2013 a term that has gained prominence in recent years among social conservatives who oppose LGBTQ rights. <\/p>\n

The change comes after Argentina became the first country in Latin America to allow a different option in the \u201cgender\u201d field of identity documents. In 2021, the government of former President Alberto Fern\u00e1ndez announced a new National Identity Document (DNI) for nonbinary people that establishes the terminology \u201cx\u201d in the field of gender for amended DNI and passports. <\/p>\n

Fern\u00e1ndez also used inclusive language during his speeches, in stark contrast to Milei, a social conservative with ties to the American right, who opposes abortion rights and has called climate change a \u201clie of socialism.\u201d <\/p>\n

Since coming to power last year, Milei has pursued conservative culture war issues. Last week, his government announced the closure of its anti-discrimination agency, saying the Ministry of Justice would absorb its functions. <\/p>\n\n
