She just likes the high of drama. When emotions are running high some people get an adrenaline rush. Itā€™s why for some people makeup sex can feel great. Since their body is full of adrenaline after a verbal fight. Theyā€™re basically adrenaline junkies, but instead of base jumping of a bridge they achieve their high trough drama. So when they get into a normal relationship they are numb to the highs and lows of this kind of relationship. Since they are used to extreme highs and lows. They go into withdrawal in a normal relationship and then they feel unhappy.

What I said wasnā€™t great, and I apologize. I guess I should have just said, I have better relationships with transwomen than ciswomen.

Somewhat tangential, but my sister-in-law insists that people use ā€œlatinxā€ whenever she hears someone say latino or latina. This despite the fact that latinos overwhelmingly prefer the terms ā€œlatinoā€ or ā€œhispanicā€ to describe themselves; in fact most have never even heard the term latinx and most of those who have are offended by that, not by latino or hispanic. I like pointing out to my (very white) sister-in-law that there is nothing more white than telling other ethnicities what they should or should not be called.

Latino/a individuals have overwhelmingly said ā€œNoā€ to Latinx.

I havenā€™t had many latina friends, but the ones I have had basically said a slur would actually be less offensive than latinx, and yeah, white people dictating what other cultures can and canā€™t doā€¦ kinda racistā€¦

The male form doubles as gender neutral. Some people have tried to start using -e ending, but Iā€™m pretty sure basically no one actually uses it.

Edit: Gotta love the dualing anecdote replies.

As someone who is native of a romance language, I would prefer using the male form. It doesnā€™t feels 100%, but itā€™s worth it.

e ending is what Iā€™ve seen from gender non conforming spanish-as-first-language speakers most often. Iā€™m gonna go with it until it starts being overwhelmed with something else, languages being living things and them being the people who I see as having any right to determine this bit.

Latine! It has the added benefit of being pronounceable in Spanish, unlike latinx.

They can call themselves latinx and I would call them that as well, if thatā€™s what they choose. The issue is with people (like my sister-in-law) insisting that everybody hispanic should be called latinx.

im just saying, those are the only people who I listen to on this discourse and I will parrot whatever they say, because my tounge absolutely defiles that language every time I try to speak it, and donā€™t think straight cis people have a right to an opinion here, regardless of their language preference.

Most of the Latino people I know are down to be called Spanish. Latinx is ridiculous.

Guessing youā€™re being downvoted because Latino != Spanish just like American != British. ā€œSpanish descentā€ is applicable to some, but Latino backgrounds are as diverse as American or Canadian backgrounds. It doesnā€™t refer to a race or culture but to people who identify with the Latin American region (Central and South American and parts of the Caribbean).

This is a TIL for me btw, as I originally was just going to respond that it includes Portugese but then looked up more information about ā€œLatinoā€ because I realized my idea of it was very general and wasnā€™t sure if those with Aztec descent, for example, would be considered ā€œLatinoā€. The answer is yes, along with many descendent from areas all over the world, in case the first paragraph didnā€™t make that clear.

People just donā€™t know how many Latino people refer to themselves as Spanish. Especially in urban areas and traveling workers.
