I hate arguing with people online but jesus. guys the gender neutral spanish x was invented by actual trans latin americans living in literal latin america speaking spanish on a regular and daily basis. it coexists with the use of a gender neutral e but slightly predates it, and depending on context one is more popular than the other (for example, i've seen feminist spaces use mostly the e, while anarchist spaces use mostly the x).
the only people who complain about the x IN latin america are transphobes and they complain about the e too, the same way english-speaking bigots complain about singular they.
also it's not a fucking slur do you know what a slur IS
Absolutely love how every self-respecting latino despises with all their souls the word “Latinx”, to the point even our progressives do so too since it completely undermined their efforts for a true gender-neutral language in the form of the -e suffix, as everyone feels it’s something Americans forced upon us without never asking, which is actually what happened.
Seriously, fuck Latinx, all my panas and parceros hate Latinx, do not support that denomination rooted in racism and imperialism!
