Bro, just borrow from Nahuatl, Latin-“ehe”, or Latin-esh, you know, like the ways they pronounce the oh so unpronounceable, oh so unbearable to the spanish speaking tongue X that sits in the middle of the name of the largest Spanish speaking country in the fucking world?
It really isn’t the tongue obliterating challenge all los machismos are fitting and moaning over it being.
Anyways this isn’t even about how people should be using it anymore, it’s about recognizing the true reasons behind why there was a fight to begin with. Nobody, has fought so hard to resist a linguistic change, as the bigots do to resist a change that accommodates trans/NB identity.
You know what came closest to this kind of resistance in a widely adopted change in English? Singular They/Them, it’s been around since literally before America and yet we still have the armchair grammar nazis insisting they/them can only be a plural pronoun, with I am sure zero ulterior motive aside from just hating trans people.
The backlash to the X was rooted fundamentally in transphobia, and understanding and expecting better than that queerphobic undercurrent in Latine culture is nothing wrong or neocolonial or whatever the fuck other excuse someone trying to excuse the hate out of their ass tries to pull to dogwhistle the “gringo shit” narrative.
You’re not entitled to people just forgetting how you wronged them just because you were able to bully them into “moving on” from it.
