Xicanx information

Xicanx (/ˈtʃiːkæŋks, ˈʃiː-/ CHEE-kanks, SHEE-,^[1] /ʃɪˈkænʃ/ shih-KANSH^[2]) is an English-language gender-neutral neologism and identity referring to people of Mexican descent in the United States. The ⟨-x⟩ suffix replaces the ⟨-o/-a⟩ ending of Chicano and Chicana that are typical of grammatical gender in Spanish. The term references a connection to Indigeneity, decolonial consciousness, inclusion of genders outside the Western gender binary imposed through colonialism, and transnationality.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] In contrast, most Latinos tend to define themselves in nationalist terms, such as by a Latin American country of origin (i.e. "Mexican-American").^[6]

Xicanx started to emerge in the 2010s and media outlets started using the term in 2016.^[7]^[8]^[6] Its emergence has been described as reflecting a shift within the Chicano Movement.^[2]^[9] The term has sometimes been used to encompass all related identifiers of Latino/a, Latin@, Latinx, Chicano/a, Chican@, Latin American, or Hispanic,^[3] and to replace what have been called colonizing and assimilationist terms, like Latino/a, Mexican American, Mestizo, and Hispanic.^[10] Xicanx has also sometimes been used to include colonized people outside of just Mexican descent, such as people from Central and South America.^[1]
