Not to humblebrag but I’m not online enough to know the details of the likely struggle sessions that have already occurred relating to this (Hexbear or elsewhere)

I’m reading Racial Formation in the United States, and it makes frequent use of latin@. But to me it just seems really awkward/forced.

Just use latine? Or, if one insists on using a combo letter, maybe at least something like the Swedish å? Or instead of trying to change the language, just divorce any correlation between human gender and word gender by selecting either latino or latina to refer to all people.

I only have a basic American level ability to speak Spanish so if there are Spanish speakers here with better insight, lemme hear the roasts

    It's a bit dated. The @, sometimes written o(a) is a very 90s thing. Most people would likely remember it from their early school years.
