I am a Filipino, who lives in the Philippines. Recently, a movement started among Filipino-Americans (or just Filipinos living in the US) to try and get into this gender neutral terms bullshit.
They want us to refer to ourselves as "Filipinx". Which sounds dumb as hell, but they took it a step even further. We call our Aunts and Uncles Titas and Titos respectively. These Fil-Ams now want us to use Tite, which is supposedly patterned after what the Latino people are doing.
In our language, Tite means penis. Its more of a slang word, so I guess dick might be a better translation. I have no idea why they don't know this, but its fucking hilarious. They expect us to go up to our elders and address them as Dick Candy or Penis Dick (two actual relatives of mine).
