The pronoun 'elle' offers an alternative for Spanish speakers outside the gender binary. - NBCLatino
"Elle," says a nonbinary young Latinx, "is a tool to me—a way to test the waters and see if I can be me."Ivon Garcia, 26, grew up two exits from the U.S.-Mexico border in San Diego. Garcia was so steeped in Mexican-American culture and Spanish that Garcia “didn’t really conceptualize someone not knowing Spanish."
It didn’t take long into Garcia's teen years to realize that the pronoun"ella"—which means"her" or"she" in Spanish, did not describe Garcia. As an alternative to “él” and “ella” , Garcia says “elle," which is pronounced EH'-jeh, gives them more agency in conversations with other Spanish speakers.
