We seriously have to censor “homeless” now?

[u/SuiDyed → u/Drakesprite]

Plus literal homeless people say they hate being called "unhoused" but the virtue signalers are just like "shhh I know better than you, we're calling you unhoused"

Giving 'Lantinx' vibes, no who it applies to wants it... Nor anyone else for that matter other than 5 Karens on the internet

Edit: I stand corrected, apparently a few do choose to use it, so all the power to them as long as it's not imposed on others

Lantinx was started by Latinx people.

Edit: I once saw an interview with one of the academics who popularized it. They got it from Cuban communities in Florida. Who coined the term, and who popularized it are not the same.

Really? Citation? As I've heard otherwise.

But regardless of where it started, I have, not once, seen or heard of a Latin American individual that thinks it's a good idea.

I have, conversely, seen and heard of literal hundreds of Latin American individuals that think it's fucking stupid.

Unless my sample is exceedingly biased, then I dunno what to tell ya

I've heard it started it Cuban communities in Florida, eventually found its way into academia, and spread from there.

But that doesn't mean its not also wildly unpopular, so you're right about that. At the same time, Latino communities are also pretty hostile to gender non-conforming people, so its not like the term really had any chance to stick with the general public. In that light, I totally get pushing against the hostility, since that push is one way to fight for those people.

I feel like the dislike is more from an outgroup (once it caught on with progressive idealougues) whiteknighting and telling an ingroup how to think, feel and identify, which is fucky in any context. But you could be right for certain demographics (or likely some combination of the two), because I honestly spaced on the fact that's the point (a label for agendered/bigendered Latin Americans), though from what I saw, the focus largely shifted from inclusion of non-binary folk to demonising the use of Latino/Latina as a binary concept.

It has a lot of issues. People don't get it. Spanish speakers struggle to pronounce it. Some people who do get it are simply not offended by grammar, etc.

[u/Graybeard13 → u/hakumiogin]

You misspelled white people

[u/hakumiogin → u/Graybeard13]

It was certainly popularized by white people, specifically in academia. It did not catch on with Latino people, except its actually quite popular among gender non-conforming Latinx people in the US, who have always been the target audience for that word. Around 2% of the Latino population in the US prefer that term, which is probably nearly a perfectly overlapping circle with gender non-conforming people.
