I personally think you are risking giving offense with such cultures and I say that based on my travels around the world. I spent 8 years in Thailand and Philippines both countries use male and female form of speech. A woman from Philippines is never called Filipinx they are called Filipina and if you try to push the later they do get offended because they don’t see it as being inclusive they see it as you imposing your thing on them and this includes lgbt types. The same thing for Thai trans have their own term but isn’t separated from male or female it’s just noun they use for a trans person which is khoutoi but when using the actual male and female sentence forms they will either say the male or female. It’s just the way their culture is. If you try to say that ain’t inclusive well both Filipinos and Thais will respond the same you are imposing your thing on them. Pinpoint is this not every culture recognizes gender the same way for their own reasons. It’s not up to you if those reasons are legitimate or not it’s not your culture. And if you are as inclusive as you claim to be then you shouldn’t have a problem with it the very fact you do shows the hypocrisy of what you are doing.
Yup, but these kinds of people like forcing their views on others in their own country. Other countries just don't know as much as they do. Rather condescending when you think about it.
Don't you just love it when White progressives use their colonial powers to dictate to people from another culture how they should refer to themselves in their own language? Spanish is a heavily gendered language. I also noticed that in this video for Latinas were being interviewed but they had very little screen time at all. Wouldn't be nice to hear that the Latinas had to say about hateful term Latinx? Yes, I said hateful. 40% of the people in that survey said that they did not like the term Latinx.

I said, for example, you come home with a bruise on your face and mom says what happened in the kid says some kid at school, punched me in the mom replies with pendejo. I said, how would the Mom know which one to say pendeja or pendejo because she doesn’t know the gender of the attacker? And she said it’s because some words the gender neutral version is the male version of the word. Which makes sense as I took Italian in school. But I think the real question is why are people creating Latinx though if you can say either Latin or Latino?????
@@ramblingrob14 That mom is exactly right..you would just use pendejo since the male prounoun encompasses all of them...just like you say" hey you guys" in a group of 5 males and 5 females. Which is why LatinX doesn't exist..they are trying to take over our language.
Thank you for not stupidly and un-ironically calling this segment "Woman on the Street" just because a female is doing the interviews.
Let's re-write a different language to promote Our point of view. Smh
So do you say cansadx instead of cansado or cansada? You would have to change every aspect of the language.
Oh those latinxes. They make good food though.
Her framing is soft, she should have referred to the creation and use of the term as cultural imperialism
