quiet moments

1) Gender-neutral x in Spanish ("latinx") is not externally imposed. Plenty of native Spanish speakers used it, some still do. I don't know who first came up with it (it's kinda hard to know that for words, and in any case seems likely to have been independently invented multiple times), but I have seen no indication it was not, y'know, a native Spanish speaker objecting to the genderedness of their language, and in any case it subsequently proliferated via other people using it to speak Spanish. To the extent white progressive Americans use it, they mostly only use it for that one word (because they mostly don't speak Spanish!), whereas the usage in Spanish is widely attested in more or less every gendered word that can describe a mixed group.

2) Gender-neutral x is bad, in my opinion, because it is an inferior unpronounceable version of the current winner of gender-neutral Spanish, gender-neutral e. This is of course subjective. Nevertheless still worth saying.

3) Lots of native Spanish speakers object to gender-neutral Spanish. Lots of native Spanish speakers don't (hi). This is because there's half a billion of us and we accordingly do not agree on everything (or, indeed, anything). It would be ridiculous to take one of these groups and say one of them represents the true will of the population and the other doesn't; it's a live matter of disagreement (as is, for that matter, gender-neutral English among those who speak that language. "It is grammatically incorrect to use singular 'they' instead of 'he or she'" is still a position some people hold).

Summary:

The sound is hard to name. A gasping, stuttering cross between an inhale and a whimper as the mask finally slips free from Tara’s face and shatters across the darkened concrete at their feet.

She sinks to her knees. Gar follows her.
