Research marketing company is advising marketing, human resources, journalism and communication disciplines to avoid using "Latinx" as a descriptor for all Latinos. Chicanx-era what do you think?
.
Pretty much.
presumptuous very much so, but I appreciated the effort even tho I just think of the X-Men when I hear it spoken out loud.Always thought it was really presumptuous for English speakers to try to replace the words Latino/a for their own version. Insulting even. So yeah, not surprised, lol.

wow, yeah it's so corny trying to be gender neutral huh
black trans folks ofen don't live past their mid 30s these days but lol pronouns am i right
How is Latinx even pronounced in Spanish???I knew about it from native speakers years before I ever saw it used in the US.
My wife is a Spanish teacher with her roots going back to Mexico.
How do you dismantle an entire language because of gender's turn of events?
I'm part of the 2% then!
It's way more gender inclusive and I despise how gendered Spanish is as a language. Not a fan of how Latin sounds, either. Latinx sounds cool
On the one side I'm Latino and cringe when I see it, on the other side though I know Latinos aren't exactly know for having an accepting view on LGBT issues. I don't know if trying to change how the language works will solve anything though.
Yeah I dont know why people are saying this is a problem that doesnt exist. I have multiple trans/gender queer latinx friends that use it. But for people who dont want it to be used to refer to them i dont mind saying something different
It always seemed a bit weird to me but I'm not Latinx. How exactly do you even pronounce the word anyways?
yeah, an actual alternative would be nice - no idea what beckys folks are on about, it's been used for quite some time by black and indigenous writers/activist etc
