> I guess if code needs to be gender inclusive there's a few spoken languages in the world that need to get rid of their gender specific grammar. I say that as a monolingual Scot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latinx https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latinx Watching who is using Latinx, Hispanic, or Latino/Latina in political discourse in the United States has been interesting. > As of 2018 the term Latinx was used nearly exclusively in the United States. > A 2019 poll (with a 5% margin of error) found that 2% of US residents of Latin American descent in the US use Latinx, including 3% of 18–34-year-olds; the rest preferred other terms. "No respondents over [age] 50 selected the term", while overall "3% of women and 1% of men selected the term as their preferred ethnic identifier". > Supporters say it promotes greater acceptance of non-binary Latinos by being gender-neutral and thus inclusive of all genders. Critics say the term does not follow traditional grammar, is difficult to pronounce, and is disrespectful toward conventional Spanish; the Royal Spanish Academy style guide does not recognize the suffix -x. Both supporters and opponents have cited linguistic imperialism as a reason for supporting or opposing the use of the term.
