  Yeah, no.
  Exactly zero Latino people I know prefer it. 
  It addresses nothing more than the guilt of the people who use it: bleeding heart white people.  Those people don't need to critically look at Latin culture and the struggle of women and LGBT people within it.  That's why they choose to use this pointless placeholder for action. 
  There are gendered languages all over the world.
  Are you this pedantic in defense of Saudi straight, gay, and transgender women (Arabic)?  Indian (Hindi)?  French? German?  Russian? 
  I'm on your side, but this is a wholly useless hill to die on.
context: she's only 40!?!? >
  
  Hate really ages you. >
  
  Maybe it's Maybeline, maybe it's lie. It's probably lies >
  
  Your comment prompted me to go watch Michelle Wolf's set again. I'm only 3 min in and I'm so glad I have lol >
  
  It's good and rightfully calls out the media for playing a part in Trump's rise and how they're seemingly playing the same game again >
  
  The dropoff in profits when they went from reporting daily if not hourly "Trump does/says something Outlandish/Unconstitutional/Illegal/Immoral/Insane... to "Democrats quietly get things done" was immense. They are making the "Biden Documents" into the biggest scandal in the history of humanity, and running with every other Far Right promoting story because they want a Republican trifecta more than anything they have ever wanted. >
  
  Trump doing something outlandish/unconstitutional/illegal/immoral/insane was the ordinary state of affairs during his presidency.
  The USA must have a really strong institutional architecture, seeing that it survived that moron/criminal/lunatic/fascist >
  
  Simple question(s)
  Was the use of latinx an issue in Arkansas or is this a dog whistle solution in search of a problem? >
  
  I don’t know any people in that community that considered it a thing >
  
  It was something that came out of people trying to be overly inclusive but ignoring the actual language and culture. I have rarely seen a Latino person use the term Latinx. >
  
  I saw the headline before the photo came up, and I thought, "BERNIE has a Latinx ban? It can't be!" 
  Carry on. It's been a long week for me already. >
  
  I was so ready to never hear that twatwaffle’s name again. >
  
  Bernie is a twatwaffle? Or Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a twatwaffle? >
  
  Sarah obviously, Sanders is still a senator. >
  
  Just making sure. Plenty of people think 2016 is somehow Bernie's fault. >
  
  Why ban it when no one uses it anyway? >
  
  Pandering to Latin people who may not like "wokeness." >
  
  Latinos hate the term Latinx. >
  
  Latinos also created the term Latinx and are the biggest proponents of it. This is mostly an internal debate within the Spanish speaking community, but conservative Spanish speakers keep pretending this is something white people are trying to force on them to avoid having the discussion. >
  
  I’m not going to try to speak for Latinos because I’m not one, but the only Latin people I’ve seen is the term Latinx are also very left leaning. I think the vast majority of Latin people don’t use it. the people I’ve seen use it the most or white people were trying to show solidarity, but just come off as pretentious. >
  
  Of course it's the left leaning Latin people that use latinx, it's an attempt to address the traditional sexism in the culture that is reinforced by the language, and of course the majority are against it, it's trying to force them to critically look at their culture and its impact on women and LGBT people within it.
