#latines

I hear way too many people saying we don't use the X or that gender inclusive language is an American invention... which?? no?? I can assure you as a 25 year old Chileno that it's been a thing pretty much my whole life. Before the X and the E people used the @ or tried mentioning both the male and female terminations (niños y niñas, chicos y chicas, etc).

Assuming that feminism, gender inclusivity and non-binary identities are a USA-centric issue is, ironically, USA-centric. In Chile the Rapanui, Mapuche, Likanantay, Aymara and Quechua indigenous people all had vocabulary for those we would consider LGBT+ today. I'm sure other Latinos can say the same for their own countries.

si hablas español de toda tu vida y sólo sabes como expresar tu pluralidad a través del inglés eres valide

si estás buscando terminología o sea describirte en tu lengua y no la encuentras eres valide

Si mi uso de la e no te hace sentir incluide eres valide

Si eres un sistema que simplemente no encuentra cómo describirse en inglés eres valide

No importa el discurso que los anglos se inventen de nuestra lengua

No importa el discurso que los nuestros mismos se inventen

I can use in a derogatory way, but every word can be

also, it is only use in a derogatory way if the gringo deserves and unfortunately, a bunch of them do

some stupid like thinking another country way of typing a laugh "KKK" is racist because usa has the klu klux klan

kkk is read kakaka and has not to do with the usa terrorist group

and some more fucked up, like:

I don't know how I have to explain this yet, but call brazilian women easy and sluts are fucking offensive and if the only response to that was a shut the fuck up gringo, you didn't even got what you deserved gringo
