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
Another thing that comes up to me right now is that going out of your way to say LatinOH! and LatinAH! comes across as a way to create and experience that migrant identity in an anglophone country. Latinos in the US are, frankly, basically Americans in most ways that count. Especially the second gen ones. But being LatinOH! rather than Latinx is one way of living the fact that your parents and grandparents are from Guatemala.
That may have cultural value in itself and might respond to some resistance you'll see.
