        The best one yet if that was your goal, unironically o7, I've tried similar but haven't gotten close (see my post about supporting the troops in my post history)

      Turns out, the anglos have lots of unfounded opinions that MUST BE HEARD. And the latam chuds need to share their conspiracy theories.

          sure, tho again even in LatAm it's a very contested issue (mostly cus we live in very conservative societies). You're better off asking queer-nb latinx about this, tho seeing all the misinformation and stupidity, I might need to make a little thread detailing this better. I'll let ya know when it's ready.

            Well my Latin friends/family are a mix of communists and religious conservatives so I should get a variety of opinions (one of them praised Cuba and Fidel in a video they sent me supportive of LGBT and non binary people's rights, the other person is an ultra conservative Christian). Thanks for the response

              No problem, looking forward to hear the side of the communists (I already have enough from the religious and conservatives with my family hahaha)

              We still exist though. And as I said, I can understand having reservations about if we should use latinx-latin@-latine, but I refuse to reject inclusive language completely to not inconvenience socially conservative people.

          Ask them what they believe about nonbinary people first.

            I'm just going to copy paste my previous response here:

              Unfortunately, latinamerican communists (if by communist we mean Marxists) are rather socially conservative. At least in my country. Good to see some exceptions, like you mention tho.

              Still, good to ask away from the internet.

                lots of woke marxists around universities, especially younger generations but anyone under 40 i expect to be marxist and thats a looot of our population

          "Yes, I believe queer people are bourgeois degeneracy. Yes I am a communist, I want Daddy StalinMaoChe to [REDACTED] my landlord. Yes, We Exist." -Somewhere in one of the dozens of 10 active-member parties in LatAmerica called Popular United Socialist Movement of the Workers

      All's I know is as a gay, all the Spanish speaking queer folk I know say Latinx. If it's an American thing, it's certainly not something that originated with the white people. They don't even know how to pronounce it.
