Exactly! I didn’t even learn the term Latinx from a US-based person, I just thought it was great because whatever dumbass crackers hate this word don’t realize that gender neutral terms are not common in Romance languages. Like why the fuck in French do I have to use ils, even if there’s one man and fifty women? What about if a nonbinary person is in the group? Dumb as hell.

Misguided leftists are like: So I see many white liberals use this one word to look woke… time to shit on this entire concept to be even woker.

Please comrade, we use the x or the e for any word that refers to people. Pronouns, nouns, adjectives and articles. It’s more complex than that. No, comrade, noooo.

the solution is actually really easy. so much of the gendering is done via vowels, so you just pull an english and dump schwas in there. Əls sont à la boulangerie.
