A word without a gender: 'Latinx'
鈥淟atina鈥 and ''Latino鈥 are both words used to describe people of Latin American origin. The problem, according to writer Jack Qu鈥檈mi, is they鈥檙e also both gendered. The word ''Latinx'' has no gender 鈥 and it鈥檚 an attempt to be inclusive of non-binary people, who identify as neither male nor female.
