Latinx

noun. 1) A person descended from or originating from Latin America but rejects Latin American cultures and their gender standards; usually associated with transexual people.

noun. 2) Used as a contemptuous term for a Latin person.

Notes:
Latinx is not commonly used outside fringe progressive circles in the United States. Originally, the word was meant to represent a non-binary term for Latinos. If used outside of progressive American circles, most Hispanics and other Latinos have expressed their opposition to the term; ensuring a deep mistrust stemming from the term itself. There is no unified pronunciation of the term 'Latinx' in Spanish, complicating its adoptance.

Latino: "Que tal, primo!"
Latinx: "Hola! Fellow Latinx!"
Latino: "Que CARAJO! What the did you just call me, gringo! You're NOT Latino!"
