There are some people who identify as Latinx. Pew puts it at 2-3% of Latin Americans, usually those who are non-binary.

I think the reason that it has the astroturfed white middle class vibe is that it’s really been pushed by corporate culture for whatever reason, who use it as catch all for all Latin Americans which clearly doesn’t line up with how the majority self-identify.

My experience is also your experience.

That is what I myself thought on the first place, but it’s more of a “global” movement. It’s not just “white people”, but rather also native Spanish speakers learning nuances of other languages, plus Gender Studies research, etc.

I am trans and Latina and it is totally a thing. We have queer people too, we come in all the normal colors and a few weird ones too.

There is John Leguizamo, though it definitely feels like he’s trying to manage his waning popularity as a c-lister.

Do you know any queer/non binary Latinos?

Well, I’m no expert. I just enjoy learning languages and am a native Spanish speaker myself. With regards to the grammar I’m quit lost in my own language, but I can tell you this:

1. “le” is was and always has been neutral. It and the other examples I gave are just the basis that shows that Spanish is capable of implementing gender neutrality/equality.
2. I don’t know if you know any Spanish, but every single noun is already gendered. This is more about pronouns getting another third person singular pronoun, and also trying to expand the base of the language and noun or adjectives that are already gendered to include this gender neutrality + equality.

I hope I could answer your question properly, but of not, feel free to elaborate.

I don’t know about videos, but here is an article

I don’t know where you come from or what languages (apart from English) you might speak, but:

1. “Latin” in Spanish means the same on English: Latin, as in the sense of the language spoken by the romans. I don’t think there is a single Spanish speaking country that calls latine “latin”.
2. Most languages (including Spanish) have gendered nouns. German even has 3. Swedish has 2 (although those are “common” and “neutral”.
3. Language evolves with time. It’s not “professors teaching new words”, it’s actually society coming up with new words. The Swedish even got themselves (relatively recently) a new third person pronoun noun specifically for a neutrally gendered/ungendered person. It is now part of the language’s standards. Even the Germans are having quite difficulty trying to make their nouns more inclusive, since (like Spanish) most nouns are used in a “masculine is the standard” (for lack of a better description).

Hope that makes it clearer.

Yeah

I’ve been told on the bird site that I’m just a white liberal cosplaying… But I’m very much latino. Lol
