“El futuro es femeninx" literally translates to the future is female. However, "femenino" has two meanings, those being female and feminine. Because the word can also mean feminine it can be applied to anyone as an adjective. Depending on who it was applied to it would either be femenino or femenina as Spanish is gendered. In an attempt to be more inclusive of all genders we have placed an "x" instead of an "a" or an "o." Nonetheless, the "x" also defies the idea "el futuro" or the future is masculine. Since "el futuro" is masculine its correlation would be "femenino," the "x" not only implies that it is female, but it also implies that it is an inclusive female future. Lastly, it also implies that male dominated spheres such as language are being defied by sheer existence of the phrase. _____________________ Thank you so much @imcynthiabril for providing a beautiful translation and @salimasees and @hernameishex for the creative and collaborative insight for our new tee at @otherwild ✨ A portion of the proceeds from each sale is donated to Familia: Trans Queer Liberation Movement (Familia: TQLM) "Familia: TQLM is the only national organization that addresses, organizes, educates, and advocates for the issues most important to our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) and Latino communities.” _____________________ “Familia: TQLM is inclusive and serves of all LGBTQ Latinos, Latinas, and gender nonconforming individuals.
