Vosotrosas

Vosotrosas is a proposed gender-inclusive form in Spanish intended to refer to a second-person plural group that includes people of all genders. By blending the masculine vosotros and the feminine vosotras, the term aims to provide a single form that does not privilege a single gender. It appears in some Spanish-speaking contexts, particularly among activists, educators, and online communities, as part of broader debates about inclusive language and gender neutrality.

Official status and usage vary. The form is not recognized by major language academies, and its acceptance differs by region, institution, and individual writer. In practice, writers often opt for alternatives such as vosotres, vosotrxs, or the conventional form vosotros/as (with a slash) to signal inclusivity. The blended form vosotrosas is less common and tends to appear primarily in discussions about inclusive orthography rather than in standardized writing.

Examples of usage are mostly experimental or illustrative. For instance, a sentence might read: ¿Cómo estáis vosotrosas? or Vosotrosas vais a la reunión esta tarde. Such examples illustrate how gender-inclusive variants can be inserted at the second-person plural level, though many readers may find them unfamiliar or stylistically marked.

Reception and considerations vary. Proponents view vosotrosas as a way to acknowledge all gender identities in social interaction and official communication. Critics argue that it can disrupt standard grammar, readability, and formal norms. Adoption tends to be contingent on local conventions, audience expectations, and institutional language policies. Related concepts include vosotras, vosotros, and wider discussions of lenguaje inclusivo.
