That makes more sense explained that way. I knew it was supposed to be commentary on a gendered language but did not know it was intended to sound weird. Thank you.
Good point. I'm not really sure either way since I am a terrible Spanish speaker.
then why push it towards us? like people try to "correct" me for using latino/latina, while I don't annoy those using latinx because I know why they are using it
Outside of Era, I only mostly see Latinx in Latino-only spaces. Or are you saying those people probably use it because they are non-Spanish speaking Latinos? What word you prefer them to use to describe themselves?
Just accuse people of virtue signaling and be done with it lol...
This is a fair take. Use what you like, but probably don't judge native speakers on what they want to call themselves.
growing up in America as a 3rd gen non-spanish-speaking-but-still-fair-play-to-get-called-slurs-ever-day-of-school Hispanic, the term doesn't mean much to me. But singular they is as natural as anything. Might be a generation thing but I'll accept whatever positive label is available while dealing with the counter of being too white to be counted and not
Didn't know all these Latinx organizations in the United States are just a bunch of white people. Or do you mean only Latinos who are white use the word?
That's great! What term do you use for non-binary people? Curious.
I see. Definitely something I'll keep in mind now. I asked because I saw it being the most popular choice in the poll referenced in OP.
