What is Latine?

According to callmelatine.com, a resource for addressing gender bias in Hispanic and Latino communities,

Latine (pronounced la·ˈ​ti·​ne) is a gender-neutral form of the word Latino, created by LGBTQIA+, gender non-binary, and feminist communities in Spanish speaking countries. The objective of the term Latine is to remove gender from the Spanish word Latino, by replacing it with the gender-neutral Spanish letter E. This idea is native to the Spanish language and can be seen in many gender-neutral words like "estudiante."

Latin America is defined as nations in the Americas and the Caribbean whose residents predominantly speak Spanish or Portuguese. 

Where is Latin America?
