Porque no los Dos? - Lemmy.World

But don’t you dare mention the e or @ or heaven forbid the dreaded x, because accomodating identities not traditionally considered in a language’s common form is “white people shit”

The e is really used (at least in Mexico) The @ was used in my times (millennial) but it was mostly to avoid writing twice: niños y niñas -> niñ@s but the e really incorporates a neutral plural

x I’ve only seen it from corporations and white people

Same in the Caribbean.

Might have seen more of it if y’all stopped being allies with the bigots who terrorized the latine folks that came up with it into silence.

Seriously, the “inclusivity is white people shit” is so strong even queer PoC have internalized it to the point of trying to justify the absolute vitriol a single letter got that “just happened” to be one queer latine folks came up with to represent themselves.

Your anger is righteous, dudex, but I don’t think the person you’re replying to deserves it
I think the problem with latinx is that if you are speaking in English then latin is already gender neutral, and it you are outside the US there is no “latin pride” so who would use latinx?
