    Progressive latinx are trying to make that stick, because most latinx people are awful to queer people and take every small change as outrageous.

      And they are completely disregarding the Spanish language in doing so. There are more sensible alternatives like "latine" or just "latin", but they decided to go with the one that isn't pronounceable in Spanish.

        The spanish language isn't sacrosant dude, I think almost all (with the exception of latino=latin, amigo=amig, etc) are awkard, but I respect their use if it makes women/queer/nb people more included. God knows they're not right now.

          Again, you can be more inclusive without just throwing x everywhere. If you want to change a language, you have to make it pronounceable.
