Trans Talk on Sidechat | I have a question and I feel like only other trans people could answer it in an unbiased way. If you’re latin American how do you feel about the term “latine” instead of Latino? I’ve heard mixed opinions but idk if they’re from transphobes or not yk?

Like I wanna be inclusive if I speak Spanish cause yk I’m literally trans but also I would prefer to both not sound stupid/be more offensive on accident lmao. I ain’t fluent enough to be able to tell lol.

I’m Latino; Latine sounds silly, as Latino is already gender-neutral and has been in use for centuries.

i think if you arent part of that group then probably steer clear of it, renaming an ethnicity to be more inclusive sounds like a hellish endeavor thats probably disrespectful to the overall culture as a whole which is why the opinions are so mixed

I have not heard a single actual Latino/a person use latine.

I mean I know that’s why I’m asking😭 If it’s too sensitive a topic then I just won’t use it I just wanted to here from queer people who ARE in that group to know for sure. Also just curiosity.

I am not Latino-American but what I do is use Latino when talking about the whole population. If there is a specific non-binary person that prefers Latine or even Latinx then you should use that for them though
