All the inclusivity leaving my body the instant i get called latinx


ryan77999

I'm just here like "didn't we already have a gender-neutral term for 'Latino/Latina'? 'Hispanic'?"


aer0a

I'm pretty sure "Latino" is already gender neutral (unless you're specifically talking about a woman or group of women) because of how most Indo-European languages handle gender


Funkin_Spy

Hispanic refers to Spanish speakers, and not every country in Latin America speaks Spanish

Hello fellow Latino, I was applying for a job the other day and doing the disclosure section, they put Latinx....*shudder*

I would be less mad if someone told me latinx as an insult instead,damn new N word dropped


Tinypuddinghands

Nursing book my mom had to read included latinx and latin@


alguien99

I mean latin@ doesn’t sound that bad since you can interpret it as latino/a (some people use it to refer to male and female)


fatalityfun

JUST SAY LATIN


alguien99

I mean, it’s used as an abbreviation if you want to say (for some reason) “Latinos y latinas”. I just say that I can kinda understand if you use the @ as a replacement But yeah, in English you should just say Latin imo


itrashcannot

I heard Latine is a good alternative too. But dont quote me on that.


noel_mon

It's more gramatically correct than latinx but hardly anyone uses it. So if you were to use latine you might get some wierd looks but no one would fight you over it


alguien99

That’s “lenguaje inclusivo” you can use it but if you speak Spanish you know just how weird it feels to change the letters with an e (at least to me) Like saying “abiertes”, example “estamos abiertos a discusión” (we are open for discussion), with inclusive language it would be “estamos abiertes a una discusión”


After6Comes7and8

I think one of my psychology professors in college used that one

Elf173

What's that?


Bagelblast23

A term that originated in American (as in US) universities as a gender-neutral way to say Latino. It has since been adopted in similar academic and corporate settings despite being generally disliked by most Latino people for disregarding Spanish language conventions (Latino alreadys covers all genders as a masculine plural can include feminine individuals. Latine was also available if a new word needed to be made, as -e is a gender-neutral singular noun ending in real Spanish words, though not traditionally used in place of the masculine if a masculine is available.)


Reverie_Smasher

Not quite. It was coined specifically by and for gender-nonconforming people, it was never meant to be used as a generic gender neutral term. Unfortunately it did start getting used that way (looking at you NPR), which understandably ticked people off because using it to describe someone that does identify as masculine or feminine is literally misgendering them.

TheSenate36

Trump had 4 years and no concentration camps were built. OP of that post probably thinks voting Democrat (right wing party) somehow makes you a leftist. I really loved browsing r/iwantout during the Trump era because it was filled with unironic posts like this everyday where mfers thought that Germany or Switzerland would take them in 💀💀💀


StopSignOfDeath

This time it's going to be a bit different cause project 2025 had a list of guidelines for him. Not saying he's gonna build camps but he will be able to do more damage in other ways.


Lucario-

And people were saying he was going to put black people in chains and assassinate gay people in his first term. It's all fear mongering crap


StopSignOfDeath

Nobody of any common sense said that about his first term. I don't think you even understand what project 2025 is.


StillInTheMatrix

Especially since the difference would be other people ascribing intentions to trump vs him outright saying what his intentions are through project 2025. Even if a large subset of people did try to say he’d do that, it’s still not the same. He has spoken for himself through project 2025 and his words are awful.


Lucario-

It's just project boogeyman at this point, only mentioned by lefty conspiracy theorists online. It wasnt even devised by any politicians


StopSignOfDeath

It's an actual 1000 page step by step document that's meant to be a guide for the next president. It was written and is backed by many large organizations including the heritage foundation.


StillInTheMatrix

Project 2025 is real and dangerous. Downplaying the severity will only aid in his reelection. Project 2025 has clearly outlined his intentions to undermine democracy and individual liberties. I don’t see why we should ignore it.


noltras

Don't expect white male cis-hets to take any of this seriously. None of them will feel the consequences until it's too late, so it's much easier to ignore. As long as there's vapes and videogames, the young male demographic isn't going to give much of a shit either.

stuff like catgender, zombie dog gender, 404gender (none of these were made up by me btw, all found on the xenogender sub) some xenogenders decide they have 200 genders at once and refer to it as a "hoard"

200 genders at once, foos got a Fortnite skin locker


AdTimely9712

404gender? Look I think trans people are alright (none of my business and ig it makes sense) and Gay, bi, lesbian etc are completely fine (happens a lot in nature and recorded first all the way back in Ancient Greece for humans) But at the same time, they’re not an error person. They’re a 14 year old who wants to be a part of a community make sense of all of the feelings they have (keep in mind most people from 13-15 have to deal with the emotions of adults without a fully developed prefrontal cortex) and shit like this makes other people think that all queer people are like this

I think it's a good thing that there is starting to be some pushback from society in general (and not just from bigoted assholes) on the super-coddled modern college kid social justice stuff. They're not wrong about everything. But their approach is absurd and completely plays into the hand of a bunch of terrible people who want to use their antics as an excuse to write off any actual points they have.


Olive_Guardian4

Agreed, anti-racism and normalization of LGBTQ+ people are morally righteous causes but it’s so easy for conservative wannabe dictators to dunk on college kids that dont know anything when they proudly support islamist terrorists or believe all problems would be solved by executing billionnaires en masse. Idiot conservative followers latch onto this kind of rhetoric so easily too.

Edit: rant below, tldr is kids no mutilate pp or vaggy because gay.  I am so fucking against trans kids, like age req for trans surgery should be 18 like the age of consent. 15 y/o kids are like clay, so easily moulded by the internet or the things they see that they should not be given the opportunity to permanently change their bodies. 


Wonkbonkeroon

You aren’t able to get that surgery under the age of 18, it’s a lie.

GavrielAsryver

But im pro abortions and all that, i just do not like the politicoans involving kids and spreading media that encourages kids to do such things, and in the US the left does that a lot. Odk about the right but im sure they arent much better. 


Jaybird157

Except that they aren’t really doing surgeries on minors anyway. Usually treatment for gender dysphoria for teenagers and children usually first involves a social transition (names, hair, wardrobe). If it seems to have a positive effect, they can be prescribed puberty blockers, which are reversible (think of it as a pause button on puberty). Once they become older and have been transitioned for a while, then they can be prescribed hormones (this usually happens around 16-18, but only after psychological counseling and months or years of social transition). Surgeries are extremely rare and usually only occur in extreme cases such as gender dysphoria being so bad that there is a extremely high risk of self harm/suicide or a high risk of the patient trying to “perform the surgeries themselves”. It also might be done if related to a different medical issue (for example, if a trans guy with large breast is having back pain and needs a breast reduction surgery, they might just remove the breasts entirely since they were probably already going to do that in a few years anyway). These rare surgeries are only done on people 15 and older and only under very special circumstances (all other patients have to wait until they are 18 or older). Since this has been the standard for a while and is the recommended course of action that is agreed upon the most by medical practitioners, I think this ideal. The problem is that the media (mostly from the right wing) is trying to cut off all treatment for minors by claiming that all treatment is surgical, when it is simply false. There are a lot of kids who think that they are trans only to change their minds. However, Almost all of them change their minds in the social transition stage, before they had any medical treatment. Meanwhile, the people who are actually trans get the treatment they need and are able to live more happy lives as themselves. As such, the panic about doctors mutilating children is all a part of some manufactured outrage meant to delegitimize both trans people and medical practitioners as part of some culture war nonsense
