Pew Research polling recently showed just 3% of us prefer "Latinx" to describe our ethnic identity. Sounds about right to us. For a long time the term "Latinx" smacks of the best intentions of academics questing for the perfect words that in a perfect world we would all use right away. We confess naming this newsletter "The Latinx" more to be trendy and sound youthful than to be inclusive as fuck to non-binary members of our community.
Our bad.
We also apologize for neglecting you. Months have fallen off the calendar since we last turned up in your inbox. Now we're back, still called The Latinx, only not because it is trendy (as the Pew Research report would indicate it clearly is not), but this time to deliberately to be inclusive as fuck to all members of our community. If you are a nonbinary newser, Latinx or otherwise, we got your back.
