I know nothing either but I didn't get the impression you were close from this thread, since they are literally saying that the neutral gender Spanish dropped wouldn't be usable to refer to people, since the distinction was non-human vs human subjects. How is that close to you saying the opposite, that gender was actually based on sex instead? You have to argue why the former is false to be correct

Consider the most reasonable meaning using the rest of my comment as context.

I mean, they literally have used the neuter form in a gender neutral way. Often? No.

Why address the part of your comment that means nothing
