Kinda like Indian vs. Native American. Some folks prefer either one or the other, so it's situationally dependent, and not a very good analogy for having gender neutral titles.
You are really off the mark with this. Native Americans prefer to be called by their nationality, for example Sioux, Navajo, Apache, Seminole, or what have you. Calling them Native American or Indian is like calling someone Asian until you discover they're Japanese. Furthermore, the law refers to them as Indian because white Europeans mistakenly identified them and it's been that way ever since. Many of them accept the term "Indian" because it's ingrained in society, but there are more Eastern Indians in the US than Native Americans and the term Indian is conflating.
That has nothing to do with white progressive native English-speaking Americans forcing gender neutral titles on Spanish-speaking Latino culture. Or does it? You know what, it does sound like a tinge of imperialism now that I write it out.
I would love to know how I can mansplain to a Latina that Latinx is just like Indian vs. Native American and that it's simply a preference. Latinx is a slur,
you can't even pronounce it in Spanish. It's essentially saying that Spanish is wrong and English is needed to correct it. Can you not see the stupidity of trying to de-gender a romance language? I can't even order red fucking salsa without using a genderized word to describe what I'm saying. But apparently progressive Americans only want to de-gender Spanish because nobody's giving shit to the Italians or French -- maybe one day the US can stop seeing Latin America as a political playground. It's an attempt at linguistic imperialism by woke college ideologs, but fortunately for the Latino culture, they are much less sensitive than the average American and see it for what it really is: a fucking joke.
Nobody is saying women shouldn't be in Aviation or that we shouldn't make inroads to include them. But there's a lot of other important shit the FAA could be spending time on than wordplay.
