I understand it’s a gender neutral term but Spanish is not a gender neutral language. Masculine words are the default in Spanish. Latino, Latina, Latinos. That’s it. You could argue against it but that’s literally how the language is and I haven’t heard people complaining about it before. Sure it’s a product of a binary society but unless someone specifies they want to be called Latinx, I won’t be calling anyone that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a fan of it because in Spanish Latinos is the default for pluralizing the word. I didn’t start seeing this until recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to be snarky but that kind of generalization is old and tired. It’s just to be inclusive of people who may not identify a certain way.

It’s also kind of going against the machistas in the latino community. If y’all thought Toxic Masculinity was bad you should see how bad Masculinity is within traditional spanish households Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
