Hello Everyone! I’ve Seen A Couple Of Posts About This Before, But None Recently, So Just A Reminder!

Hello everyone! I’ve seen a couple of posts about this before, but none recently, so just a reminder!

Please use “Latine” instead of “Latinx” or “Latin@” when refering to nonbinary Latines or groups of Latines. Here are a few reasons why!

In general, we nonbinary Latines have been trying to find an alternative to the gendered -a/-o endings in many Spanish words for a long time. The -e ending is our solution that the nonbinary Latine community widely agrees on, and wants to gain traction.

Using the @ symbol merely fuses the two binary gendered endings. It isn’t inclusive of nonbinary identities.

While an X is not gendered, it also is not easy for Latines to pronounce. It is not a naturally occuring ending in our languages, and due to its placement there is no agreed upon way to pronounce it.

Additionally, the @ symbol and X endings are hard if not impossible for screenreaders to recognize. We want to make sure to keep accessibility in mind!

There are already many words in our languages that end in E. It is an ending that flows naturally and is easy for us to pronounce.

Thank you for reading! I would really appreciate any reblogs. Happy Pride!
