Latine at least sounds better, but I hate how close to latrine it is. The point is that we can identify our roots in Latin America when speaking with others, and unfortunately for the people trying to corrupt our lengua, the vast majority of speakers seem ok with using the subtleties of context in a Spanish sentence to understand that everyone is being referred to when using either Latino or Latina.
If that makes you uncomfortable, play with duo lingo some more until you truly grok this language.
I’d like a queer latino’s take on this, I’m truly interested in their opinion. Even that sentence, the majority understand I’m asking for input from everyone, whether I’d written Latino or Latina.
What the fuck is a lunga? Teimpo? 🤦
