Latine and Latin@
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)
