How are gender neutral pronouns handled in Romance languages?

Gender neutral pronouns are a relatively new concept in Romance languages and are still not widely used or accepted in all countries. In many cases, people use masculine pronouns as a default for gender-neutral situations. However, there have been efforts to introduce new pronouns, such as “elle” in French or “elle”/”elleo” in Spanish, which can be used to refer to someone who does not identify as either male or female. These new pronouns are still not widely recognized or used, and it remains a complex linguistic and cultural issue in Romance-speaking countries.
