It doesn’t have to make sense to you, it’s a goddamn word. It’s big in queer Spanish-speaking circles and I don’t gotta justify that shit to you.
Ok, chill. I told you that cuz I am native spanish speaker from latin america and I was c9nvinced that term was invented by murican whities trying to outwoke everyone. Also, again, the spanish-originated genderless word for latin people is “latines”, heavily used in queer circles. But obviously, if your friends like that term use it, it’s not like it’s a slur nor anything.
It’s not something that white people invented and pretty much every Spanish speaking queer person I know says Latinx. I dunno why this shit is always a struggle session, there’s nothing wrong with the term.
