The most amusing part about this is that literally the entire Spanish language is gendered, so we should probably change all words to 'x' replacements as well.

No more "los gatos"!

Lxs gatxs has so much more of a latin ring to it. (/s)

Spanish is being obliterated by lXs que lo hablan peor.



There is an amusing and depressing irony to a colonizer's language being re-colonized by another colonizer.


Spanish, from Spain, a country in Europe, is a language made up by white people.

Latinx is form a handful of non-binary latin activists in the US, and co-opted by left-wingers who think they're doing the right thing.


They weren't White to my grandparents.


It should obviously be pronounced "le-teh-quis gah-teh-quies", right?


I mean technically white people invented Spanish


"Spanish is being obliterated by white people."

Spanish is being obliterated by a very small minority of politically biased and likely neo-marxist-propaganda-influenced young people.


You're right, fixed it to 'those who speak it worst'


> No more "los gatos"!

Do you often use “cats” to describe a particular group of humans, whise gender identity you are concerned about including?


I think you have finally hit upon the solution to the pronoun problem.

In almost no case till I care about the express sexuality of the person for whom I am using a pronoun and I resent having to be forced to care about their self-centered nature, being self-centered myself.

However, instead of saying "he is wearing a weird hat", I can say "that cat is wearing a weird hat"

And I don't have to worry about it.

Gracias.


Any group is the girls, the dolls, the girlies... Haven't used cats since I stopped wearing all black.
