    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.

                I really hope you start thinking outside of that reactionary garbage and care enough about women, queer and nb people, even if it's incovenient for you. Goodnight.

                    1st off lbtqetc masks you off a bit, doesn't it?

                    2nd, I'm queer dude and fuck not helping women-queer-nb feel included. If you wanna have a convo about what's the best way to say latinx, feel free to discuss it w-respect with feminist/queer progressive groups, but you'll have to accept that inclusive language is not staining The Sacrosant Spanish Language first.

        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
