    AFAIK it’s something like “the term itself is a bit niche, latine is maybe more common as a gender neutral term, but anyone making a fuss about it is a chud.”

    Elsewhere in this thread this was said.

    I’ve met some leftists latine people with different takes, including “linguistic gender is different and latino is already inclusive” but I’ve seen enough nonbinary latine people say otherwise to not take that seriously (plus it was on a server dominanted by people with really bad takes like xenogenders bad and kink at pride bad. Predominantly ML server as well its a weird culture.)

      Someone should do a study to see if queer people who have one bad take about their own community tend to have the rest. I hypothesize the existence of a transmed mindset that leads to it, “respectability politics above all else”.

        Interestingly, they aren’t transmeds, but the trans person that enables the rest of them to be shitty by telling them their opinions are ok is very much an assilimationist and that drives a lot of her opinions. Oddly she isnt against neos either though. So she doesnt have EVERY bad opinion you can have.

          Well, obviously everyone in the group isn’t going to have the same exact set of takes (especially less likely to actually be transmed now that it’s more universally hated) but that might still be correlations

            Her take on xenogenders is that its “not a materialist take on what gender is” (she’s like, almost religiously obsessed with materialism in a weird way) and when me and some other people tried to point out that this is like the exact same thing faux-Marxists transmeds say, and indeed what faux-Marxist full on transphobes say, she said “yeah but in this case I’m right”.
