“Es un gusto conocerla.”
How do we know that somebody is a woman? Can I just use conocerlo to avoid offense (b/c Spanish speakers often go with masculine gramatical gender for groups) or should I do something else?
It would be helpful to gather a multitude of responses from our native #español speakers here, non-binary folks and women, so boosts are appreciated.

#Pope #LeoXIV, the new Bishop of Rome, was born on Sept 14, 1955, in #Chicago, Illinois, to Louis Marius Prevost, of #French & #Italian descent, & Mildred Martínez, of #Spanish descent. He has 2 brothers, Louis Martín & John Joseph.
He spent his childhood & adolescence w/his family & studied first at the Minor Seminary of the Augustinian Fathers & then at Villanova University in #Pennsylvania, where in 1977 he earned a Degree in #Mathematics & also studied #Philosophy.

I wonder, given #RobertPrevost’s many years spent in #SouthAmerica, if the choice was related at all to the current cruelty of Trump’s #immigration policies & #deportations of #LatinAmericans. [he is also a Peruvian citizen]
Notable that after #Pope #LeoXIV gave his remarks in Italian he spoke in #Spanish, but the Chicago born #American did not speak in English.
[my aunt just texted me that Pope Leo’s dad was the principal at her grade school in Chicago Heights. She’s Italian & very excited]

After all a language is just a way to say something, with the difference that the english is like a JSON, and is the answer to the tipical "Which language should learn?" in the naturals languages.
