Latine and Latin@

Resolved

We need to distinguish and cover these terms better. Latine actually originated in the, well, Latine culture, and is not an exonym imposed by gringo activists like Latinx is. Latin@ did also, as an early Internet thing (I first saw it in the mid-90s I think); it looks like an a inside an o, so both at once. I think this article is over-focused on the exact string Latinx.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  22:48, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

There's also Gender neutrality in Spanish, which covers the use of these terms in Spanish. signed, Rosguill talk 23:18, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
That may be where some richer coverage of it "lives", but a WP:SUMMARY treatment of them is clearly directly relevant at this page, since Latinx is essentially a socio-politically motivated exonym trying to compete with two native-Spanish approaches to gender-neutrality.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  05:23, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
Update: The lead as it stands now [1] mentions them, as does the article body, and that's good enough. So, marking this "resolved".  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  12:22, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
