      Latine! It has the added benefit of being pronounceable in Spanish, unlike latinx.

        to be fair I don’t know how to pronounce the x in english either.

        but that is the one I’ve heard most often. edit: e not x, most often

      The male form doubles as gender neutral. Some people have tried to start using -e ending, but I’m pretty sure basically no one actually uses it.

      Edit: Gotta love the dualing anecdote replies.

        e ending is what I’ve seen from gender non conforming spanish-as-first-language speakers most often. I’m gonna go with it until it starts being overwhelmed with something else, languages being living things and them being the people who I see as having any right to determine this bit.

        As someone who is native of a romance language, I would prefer using the male form. It doesn’t feels 100%, but it’s worth it.

      They can call themselves latinx and I would call them that as well, if that’s what they choose. The issue is with people (like my sister-in-law) insisting that everybody hispanic should be called latinx.

        im just saying, those are the only people who I listen to on this discourse and I will parrot whatever they say, because my tounge absolutely defiles that language every time I try to speak it, and don’t think straight cis people have a right to an opinion here, regardless of their language preference.
