使用する際の注意点

• Latinx is used as a gender-neutral alternative to Latino and Latina, including in the plural (where Latinxs can replace long phrases like Latinos and Latinas, or the use of Latinos alone to refer to a mixed-gender group, which some feminists object to), by a small number of Hispanic people and others, mostly younger people, women, and non-binary people. Some Hispanic people object to Latinx, considering it nontraditional or "politically correct". A 2019 poll of 508 Hispanic people found that only 2% chose the term as the one term that best described them; a 2020 poll found that only 3% of US adults who identified as Hispanic or Latino also described themselves as Latinx, and only 23% had heard of Latinx (of whom 10% – a total of 2.3% of those polled – preferred using it). A 2021 poll asked Hispanic Americans about their preference among the terms Hispanic, Latino, and Latinx; 57% said it did not matter, and 4% chose Latinx; in a follow-up question about which term they lean toward, 5% chose Latinx.
• As of 2023, the use of Latinx is illegal in government communications of the state of Arkansas, and gender-neutral forms including this one have been banned in education spaces in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and criticized by the Royal Spanish Academy.
• Some people use Latine as an alternative, arguing it is more pronounceable in Spanish.
