Will 2019 be the year when people stop using “Latinx” instead of the already gender neutral Latinos? You know the gender neutral word that exists and can actually be used in its own actual language?

One day…

As a Latino who speaks Spanish I am so sick of people using “Latinix”. 95% of the time it’s used by white people who don’t speak Spanish. It is not your job to make a “gender neutral” word for us just because you don’t understand our language. Latina is for just women, Latino is for just men, Latinos is for BOTH. It is GENDER NUTERAL. Just like Abeula is grandma, Abuelo is grandpa, and Abuelos would be the gender-neutral term for grandparents.

(This is ok for non Latinos/Spanish speakers to reblog)

I didn’t know this. I was always told it was ‘Latinx’, and people would be upset if I didn’t use it. I will definitely be using Latinos from now on.

btw this is for both Spanish & Portuguese (bc not all of Latin America speaks Spanish)

for a woman: Latina

for a man: Latino

for 2 or more men: Latinos

for 2 or more women: Latinas

for a group of both men & women: Latinos
