There's always Latine.

Stop overthinking. I acknowledge the nuances. Don't worry about it.

Revising an answer to a diversity prompt, and I'm discussing the contribution of my identity as a Latino to my motivation for medicine.

I include a phrase that's like "... among the Latino community ...". Should I replace this with Latinx? I can't believe I'm even asking this, but I'm wondering if some admissions office out there is gonna be offended that I use a gendered word instead of "Latinx". Or should I avoid this issue altogether and just use Hispanic (which doesn't mean the same thing, especially when thinking about access to healthcare)?

The Latino community prefers Latino over Latinx. That’s why I decided to use it.

This. I hate the term Latinx.

You're describing your own identity and community, I can't imagine any reasonable person would fault you for using the word that makes the most sense to you.
