âLast summer, Democratic Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, posed a question on Twitter: âDoes it seem like non-Latinos use Latinx far more than actual Latinos?â
A debate on Gonzalezâs Twitter thread followed.
Spanish-language loyalists criticized the gender-inclusive label for its attempt to change a language that consists of masculine and feminine nouns. Defenders called it a non-binary and inclusive label that acknowledges Latinas and LGBTQ Latinos.
