      AFAIK it's something like "the term itself is a bit niche, latine is maybe more common as a gender neutral term, but anyone making a fuss about it is a chud."

      Elsewhere in this thread this was said.

      I've met some leftists latine people with different takes, including "linguistic gender is different and latino is already inclusive" but I've seen enough nonbinary latine people say otherwise to not take that seriously (plus it was on a server dominanted by people with really bad takes like xenogenders bad and kink at pride bad. Predominantly ML server as well its a weird culture.)

          Essentially a method for people who would normally fall under the nonbinary banner to describe their gender as they don't really like that term and don't feel it is accurate because they feel they are distinct from other nonbinary people. Instead they use words to describe the feel of their gender which is where plants, or animals or other things come in.

          Also people who want to say fuck gender altogether.

          Interestingly, they aren't transmeds, but the trans person that enables the rest of them to be shitty by telling them their opinions are ok is very much an assilimationist and that drives a lot of her opinions. Oddly she isnt against neos either though. So she doesnt have EVERY bad opinion you can have.

              Her take on xenogenders is that its "not a materialist take on what gender is" (she's like, almost religiously obsessed with materialism in a weird way) and when me and some other people tried to point out that this is like the exact same thing faux-Marxists transmeds say, and indeed what faux-Marxist full on transphobes say, she said "yeah but in this case I'm right".

      i'm not a spanish speaker, so what i have to say doesn't rly matter, but i've yet to see it championed by a predominantly spanish-speaking organization or activist.

      in general i think generating new linguistic signifiers for having the right politics is easily confused with having the right politics, which is easily confused with actually doing politics.
