Let& #39;s go back to the Filipino language. What pronouns are there? Ako, ikaw, siya - equivalents of the English I, you, and he/she/they. And what gender does "siya" have?

It& #39;s gender neutral. There are no masculine or feminine forms of "siya".

So Filipino is gender neutral. https://twitter.com/PhilippineStar/status/1301731713979047936">https://twitter.com/Philippin...

With that, there is no need for "Filipinx" to happen when Filipino IS gender neutral. Also, the "x" in the Filipino alphabet is a borrowed letter (hiram na titik) and is not standard with many words that come from Tagalog, Cebuano, Kapampangan, etc.

So, please don& #39;t with this.

Also, this is a reflection of many Filipinos in the diaspora (particularly many Fil-Ams) who use western concepts of gender to understand their identities. Yet, it can be a detriment to natives (people from/living in the Philippines) who do their best to preserve their culture.

A lot of us Filipinos don& #39;t need to westernize more concepts, especially considering their history of being colonized by the Spanish, Americans, and Japanese. We have concepts of language and gender, which have to be respected.
