    Apparently it’s short for “Mix”. I only learned that in this post, which suggests it’s far from established - I assumed it was along the lines of “latino/latina -> latinx”.

      Obligatory “Latine” is the preferred gender neutral term for spanish speakers because it actually follows the gendering rules of the language, rather than english speakers making shit up.

        Yesss that sounds far better.

        Even if it sounds close to a word for “toilet” - but then, half the argument revolves around toilets.

        Let people piss and shit in peace.
