It's not the "correct" term, and almost nobody I know of takes it seriously outside of really, really narrow little social media woke bubbles. If someone is a woman and of latin american origin, they will almost universally refer to themselves as latina and not care if others do. What idiotic nonsense to assume that something else is "correct" despite it going against the grain of a vast majority's word use.
I live in Latin America and have latin american family of all kinds. This aside from many friendships of both sexes and variable gender identifications too.
- c0m 4y agoIn America, barely any (2%) of the Latino population identify with it, yet it gets pushed anyway. In fact, 40% are actively bothered by it. Forcing use of it is such a bizarre hill to die on. https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000017d-81be-dee4-a5ff-efbe74ec0000 https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000017d-81be-dee4-a5ff-efbe7...
