Its Just I See These Gender Neutral Words Being Regurgitated A Lot By Gringos On Both Sides Of The Political Spectrum - Tumblr Posts

So let me clarify this for you to not fall into conservative propaganda:

Latinx isn’t a slur, but it also isn’t the preferred term for us.

The hate this word gets is hella amplified by white conservatives, but most of the real dislike just lies in the fact that it’s not grammatically correct and weird to pronounce. Kinda feels like an American appropriation of the language, since x isn’t that much of a common letter in Latin based languages.

It’s more common to use the word Latino that is already gender neutral, but if you are educated on languages debates in Latin based languages and ends up preferring a totally gender neutral word, use Latine. It fits better, phonetically speaking and is less controversial.
