      Some people say Latine, and some people say Latinx. They're all fledgling attempts to deal with a gendered language and Latinx originated in diaspora activist communities and is mostly used in that context, but I don't really see it as a colonial intervention (in what is already the language of colonisers!)

        This. The RAE is the talking point latines use to avoid using inclusive language.

      Yeah this is the part that makes it so weird for me as someone whose studied the language. It's a totally anglo invention.
