      AFAIK it’s something like “the term itself is a bit niche, latine is maybe more common as a gender neutral term, but anyone making a fuss about it is a chud.”

      Elsewhere in this thread this was said.

      I’ve met some leftists latine people with different takes, including “linguistic gender is different and latino is already inclusive” but I’ve seen enough nonbinary latine people say otherwise to not take that seriously (plus it was on a server dominanted by people with really bad takes like xenogenders bad and kink at pride bad. Predominantly ML server as well its a weird culture.)

    • i’m not a spanish speaker, so what i have to say doesn’t rly matter, but i’ve yet to see it championed by a predominantly spanish-speaking organization or activist.

      in general i think generating new linguistic signifiers for having the right politics is easily confused with having the right politics, which is easily confused with actually doing politics.
