It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
Saying "The majority of Spanish speaking communities object to the use of novel nonbinary suffixes" isn't really context any more than saying "The majority of english speakers hate nonbinary pronouns."
Okay, so there are a fuckton of spanish speaking bigots? Thanks. Never would have guessed. The context that would actually be useful here is what nonbinary spanish speaking communities think of these.
"Um, actually, that's not gramatically correct!" No shit? You mean that people trying to reform a language aren't sticking to the current language standards? Incredible.
Yeah, I was going to ask is there genuinely a more preferred term that non-binary people like to use, or is this more akin to people throwing a tantrum similar to "You can't use they as a singular pronoun!! You want me to refer to you as multiple people?!?!?"
Latine or latin@ have been used. Latine is more of what I see. Latinx is a largely American creation from what I've seen and is difficult to pronounce in Spanish. Latine is a lot more natural to say.
