    So it’s probably not a big issue. I’d like input from non-binary speakers of those languages though; since I’m not non-binary myself it’s possible that my view is incorrect.

    I’m only a native Romance language speaker (Spanish) who is both an ally and an amateur wordsmith.

    Due to this, I’ll not pretend to go into any depth of why you’re wrong per the zeitgeist of Spanish youth today, but will instead give you the more or less settled informal solution (The RAE isn’t likely to add it officially):

    Latinx.

      Full stop here. I’m asking them, not you.

      Even if you wear their shirt you can’t wear their skin, I’m asking about this shit for people who feel it in the skin, you’re being patronising and erasing their voice for the sake of your “GIMME GOOD BOY POINTS! I’M AN ALLY, SEE?” slacktivism.

        Yes. You have successfully read my mind. This is entirely in line with me as a person and how I have presented myself online.

        I hope you’re proud of yourself for your insight, it was my pleasure to be your Judas this morning.

        I see why you need to ask on here instead of outside in your community.

        Edit: Forgot to add, no need to engage further. Consider me silenced, enjoy your discourse.
