From "la Peter" (Sánchez) to Letizia's "bienvenidas": this is how the use of the feminine was also normalized for men
The imposition of the generic masculine form by the RAE is starting to give way to the feminine, which started as gay slang and an egalitarian claim but is now starting to be used even by heterosexual men.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's appearance on La Revuelta two weeks ago has been revisited in conversation, particularly his casual attire and comments about his sex life. Actress Candela Peña referred to Sánchez as "Pedra" and "la Peter", and used a derogatory term, which Sánchez seemingly legitimized by referencing it on his social media account. This has been contrasted with the much more serious tone of a recent interview with far-right leader Santiago Abascal on the same program.
