    The reason why I find "Latinx" insulting and condescending is because the word was made by the American anglosphere to use it to describe us Hispanics and Latin-Americans by TAKING ONE OF OUR OWN WORDS and changing an article where we can't even use it in our own languages. It's simply plain American arrogance and Anglo-superiority over the Hispanosphere.

    It's funny how Jonathan Jayes-Green speaks for all latinos about inclusion and somehow made it all about himself. The issue with Latinx is a discoursive issue that is happening mostly in the English Language. Mr Jayes-Green doesn't seem to care (specially after seeing his arrogant attitude) that the vast majority of latinos don't speak English, don't care about and are not affected by what's happening with this matter, and, certainly, don't even know of or use the term Latinx. Most of us use Latinoamericano, or sudamericano, for instance, since the term "American" has been so erroneously used to refer only to the US and that is wrong (notice how he didn't even mention that). Also, Mr. Jayes-Green makes it all about himself and his interests first by completely ignoring the very basis of the issue, lingüistics (grammar,), not LGBTQI issues (and I'm part of the community, btw). Also, they made no reference to the difference between the terms Latino and Hispanic, they mean different things that can go together, but are not intercheangable for some people. Did they bother to ask Brazilians, indigenous non-spanish speaking people or others how they feel about this? No. So no, Latinx is a terrible option to call people from Latin America. Just call us Latin Americans, end of.

    "Latino/Latina" and "Hispanic" are umbrella terms. Umbrella terms are no longer umbrella terms when you start specifying specific groups - fantasy is a part of fiction, not separate from it.
    "Latinx" also ruins the phonetics of Spanish. _The music of the language._ It's not "gender conforming". Even inanimate objects are given gendered -o/s and -a/s endings, although it is inherently understood that these objects are not tied to the genders assigned to them.
    For example, when someone says “los cubanos” an English speaker may instinctively interpret this as “the male Cubans,” but a Spanish speaker simply hears “the Cubans.” This applies to French and German as well - you don't hear "die Pizza" and "la pizza" to then translate them as "the female pizza."
    That's the issue (among others) with "Latinx". Just because a language is gendered does not inherently tie objects (pizzas) and groups (athletes) to gender norms. A basic misconception that people unfamiliar to gendered languages make is "masculine" and "feminine", and then thinking gender neutral forms must be added, when both masculine and feminine forms of the word are gender neutral by their very nature - it's just how the word fits in phonetically.
    Umbrella terms like "humanity", "athletes", et cetera do not need gender neutral variations because the word itself already includes people all across the spectrum as long as they meet the criteria (all humans fall under the term "humanity" whereas those who participate in sporting events can fit in with the term "athlete").

    I refuse to use the term Latinex other than to object to it (sounds too much like windex or kotex). My objection is that the Hispanic community, which is still waiting for their turn at being flavor of the month, is used as a repository for terminology that didn’t initiate in the Hispanic community. We are being used as fodder for other causes, without compensation. We didn’t choose the term “people of color,” because we believe that White is also a color, just like 20% of the white Latino community. Most Latinos self-identify with their ancestral homeland first before they say American. (Irishman and Italian are also self-identity terms used by other Americans.) Now we get hit with Latinex which is a reductionist term, consistent with the modern common urge to abbreviate every fifth word or to use acronyms. Most other ethnic communities would revolt if you applied an outsider term to their community. Rather than to explore who we are, we get hit with a label of convenience and placed in a cupboard till needed again for somebody else’s battles.

Native races from continental America are called Indians. Naturally the natives of that continent would have never been called Indians in the first place of Columbus hadn't sailed in the wrong direction, thinking he arrived in the Indies and had found Indiërs and people hadn't mistakenly began calling these people Indians.

    Here we go again, why does everything become an LGBTQ debate?

      Because the world is full of idiots who cannot seem to grasp the meaning of respect, and The Golden Rule, like the self-impressed clown in your mirror, junior.

      @@paradisepipeco I'm not saying that LGBTQ individuals are undeserving of rights and respect but there is something bigger at play here. All this redefining of pronouns, human biology denying bs is just muddying the water. The real issues that affect the LGBTQ community are being lost in the fog because of these attention seeking, social media obsessed, narcissists.

    In Spanish when you say your nationality we say nacionalidad Mexicana, nacionalidad Salvadoreña, Panameña etc. Nobody gets mad.
