When you use the stats of cis/hets not liking or using terms meant to be inclusive of non-binary/queer people as a reason for the term being bad. :cringe:

Like I said latine is used more. A word or phrase could sound perfect and it wouldn't matter because that is not what it is actually about, most cis people just do not want to acknowledge non-binary peoples existence, let alone expand their languages to include us. Just look at the outrage every time someone dare utter the words ''people who menstruate'' for example.
Latine is used more. Which people would know if they actually cared about the topic, instead of just wanting to laugh at them silly trans people and their x's.
Hell, I'm not laughing, I just think convenience is key when trying to gain widespread acceptance for a neologism. I actually think this "Latine" sounds like a much better alternative.
The whole Latino/Latina category is a pretty bad one, since it conflates settler-descended central and south Americans with native-descended ones. It's the reason why pretty much every "first latino ____" is a white guy.
Also, the whole concept of "Latin America" was invented by France in order to try to make Mexicans accept French imperialism in Mexico. Or at least that's what I learned in a world history class years ago.
I also dislike latine, but at least that one makes sense. I will not use it, but if someone else wants to, i welcome it.
By the way, is it true that argentinian twitter is having a meltdown because a spaniard called "milanesas", "pollo empanado"? (Which is the obvious superior choice).
Latine makes sense because is the spanish nu-genderneutral of latino, which despite being understood as "referring to all people" it's in "male form", so is woker to use "latine"
Milanesas can be made out of chicken, cow, pig, eggplants etc, it's basically something dipped in raw scrambled eggs then covered in bread crumbs and then fried. Argie twitter is pure garbage, and twitter keeps banning my accounts anyways.
I hate it.
I never really understood the Latinx thing. Why not just drop the suffix entirely and make it "Latin"? Like literally just use the root word.

It's even worse in Spanish because the name of the letter X is ECK-EES
Time to do some X

If it's not sexist, is it really a romance language?
They are still people, and if the goal is to find widespread acceptance for the word, maybe a better letter than fucking "x" should be found.

Latine is also stupid, words that end in e are just as feminine as words that end in a
Ehh, not really. Words that end in e can go either way.

Yeah there has to be some logical reason as to why that isn't the case but holy shit Latinx is awkward as shit.
Me too.
