It’s honestly insane that (even as rarely as it’s relevant for a european) this thread is the first I heard of “latine”. All that discourse about latinx and NOW finally I’m being told that there’s been a less stupid attempt at a solution before that. Finally I can stop feeling weird as I’m trying to decide whether to just say latinos as I have no idea what the socially accepted word is in the context I’m in. I can just say latine.

Honestly Latinos (plural) doesn’t really bother most of us either because the language is just gendered, but doesn’t mean we’re literally thinking a chair is a woman or a tv is a man. But, in the rare case where a gender neutral word would be better, such as referring to a person’s gender (singular), then Latine and such is useful. So El, Ella, É etc
