Will 2019 be the year when people stop using “Latinx” instead of the already gender neutral Latinos? You know the gender neutral word that exists and can actually be used in its own actual language?
One day…
As a Latino who speaks Spanish I am so sick of people using “Latinix”. 95% of the time it’s used by white people who don’t speak Spanish. It is not your job to make a “gender neutral” word for us just because you don’t understand our language. Latina is for just women, Latino is for just men, Latinos is for BOTH. It is GENDER NUTERAL. Just like Abeula is grandma, Abuelo is grandpa, and Abuelos would be the gender-neutral term for grandparents.
(This is ok for non Latinos/Spanish speakers to reblog)
Anyone who finds the entire idea of “Latinx” utterly annoying and useless can reblog this post.
Forcing a “gender neutral” pronoun into a language that already has a way to express that concept? That’s colonialism babes
Honestly, as a latina myself (from México), there is a discourse going around the use of x and e at the end of certain words to make them neutral, at least by some people of my culture. However this hardly speaks for the entire country, much less the continent, so when you’re using the x think of why you doing it and reconsider.
> Inclusive lenguaje is still a work in progress, so try and look that up before you make a decision.
