Somewhat tangential, but my sister-in-law insists that people use "latinx" whenever she hears someone say latino or latina. This despite the fact that latinos overwhelmingly prefer the terms "latino" or "hispanic" to describe themselves; in fact most have never even heard the term latinx and most of those who have are offended by that, not by latino or hispanic. I like pointing out to my (very white) sister-in-law that there is nothing more white than telling other ethnicities what they should or should not be called.

okay but what do genderqueer people whose first language is spanish say?

[-] Sybilvane@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 months ago

Latine! It has the added benefit of being pronounceable in Spanish, unlike latinx.

to be fair I don't know how to pronounce the x in english either.

but that is the one I've heard most often. edit: e not x, most often
