Latinx
Latinx is a gender-neutral term used to refer to people of Latin American origin or descent. It serves as an inclusive alternative to Spanish gender-specific words like "Latino" (masculine) and "Latina" (feminine), acknowledging gender diversity beyond the binary. The term aims to promote inclusivity for individuals who do not identify strictly as male or female, as well as those who prefer a more neutral way to describe their cultural background. While widely used in some communities and contexts, its adoption varies, and some prefer other terms such as Hispanic or Latin American.
