As a brazilian, I say Paulo Freire was right, the dream of the opressed, is to become the opressor.

Neutral language in english is already complicated, using they/them pronouns in the singular, works better when you're talking about someone who is unknown or hypothetical, that person can be either male or female, but when you're talking about someone you know who is literally neither male or female, using they/them becomes confusing.

But the real problem is languages like spanish, portuguese, french or german, where even inanimate objects are assigned a gender, to make these languages gender-neutral, they would need to be overhauled, throwing away the old language to create a new one.

These people talk so much about colonialism and imperialism, forcing other cultures to accept and assimilate their culture that they consider superior, yet are doing exactly that, forcing a new language on countries that don't want this and already have problems teaching the regular language.

I know I'm not saying something controversial here, But the "word" Latinx is pure BS.

Whoever came up with it had no idea of how spanish works even a basic level, the word itself can't be properly said in spanish.

I'm not going into a rant of how gendered words work in spanish because many have gone into more detail that I'm capable of.

Instead I'm going to limit myself saying that by trying to be less oppresive and racist using that word you're ironically being more racist and more oppresive instead.

And if you have a problem with me, a latino, having an issue with that word, then you can besarme mi blanco culo.
