      Y para terminar, un postre sencillo: las golosinas suecas de Oomuombo (Fuencarral, 27; www.oomuombo.com) tienda de nombre impronunciable, pero bello visualmente por su redondez tipográfica.

      Sin embargo, ante la discusón de “cómo hacer el lenguaje más incluyente” creo que la respuesta “hacerlo impronunciable” (con el uso casi irónico de la x) no enfrenta el problema sino que crea otros que distaen y que no logran entender la cuestión de género y su vínculo con la lengua.
      However, faced with the debate of "how to make language more inclusive" I think that the response "make it unpronounceable" (with the almost ironic use of x) doesn't confront the problem, but rather it creates others that distract and don't manage to understand the issue of gender and its link to language.
