This shit is actually offensive now.

Spanish = Latino or Latina
English = Latin

Done. No need for extra letters or for fucking up the language.

I like how he treats the fact that there are gendered languages as a little-known revelation.

I think that's intended to be thinly veiled disgust at the idea that the language embraces two genders

I think the fact that most Latin American countries will act dumbfounded about this term should tell you that is not a good idea.

What is easier?
- Understanding that language has hundreds of years of inertia and tradition in it and accept that it's just a word and a word doesn't define you?
- Redefine an entire language

I'll give a shit when Latinos and Latinas actually adopt it, thank you.

I've seen it used in Los Angeles by members of the Queer community and/or those who are trying to be more inclusive. But these people are definitely American born.

"Latinx" sounds like a bad Rob Liefeld-designed X-Men character.
