‘Latine is the new Latinx’

“Spanish words generally have a fixed grammatical gender, making them either masculine (el gato) or feminine (la silla). Many plural nouns also use the masculine form as a default (los niños). The same rules apply in Portuguese. To better accommodate diverse gender identities, some Spanish and Portuguese speakers are increasingly using the -e suffix for some nouns , such as using ‘todes’ in addition to ‘todos,’ both of which mean ‘everyone.’ ”
