1.
Gender non-conforming people of Latin American descent.
2. LGBT/Queer people that identify with their adopted
gender as opposed to their biological
sex, and with Latin culture.
3. The community of trans and gender-neutral people in the Americas that identify with their latino* heritage.
*Latino, or latin by the US definition, but perhaps also including Spaniards, Italians, French and speakers of other Latin-based languages that don't identify as male or female.
My
homie Juan identifies as Latinx because the history of patriarchal misogyny and
homophobic machismo in the Latino community makes him feel alienated as a former gay woman, and as a trans
man.
Latinx people deal with a lot of intersectional marginalization but the community is small and in some ways that gives them strength.
