Hueco, also spelled Weko, Wekereke and Huequereque, is a reclaimed slur used against men-loving men, transfeminine and AMAB gender non-conforming people in Guatemala,[1] Chile[2] and possibly other Hispanic countries. The feminine equivalent, Hueca, may also be used against sapphic women and transmasculine people. However, it is generally used to insult women as a whole.
Translation
The term "hueco" literally translates as "empty, shallow, hollow, or superficial"[3] among other terms that indicate a lack of substance. This comes from the homophobic stereotype that queer men are usually feminine, and the misogynistic belief that femininity indicates no intelligence or dept within a person.
History
It is unclear when exactly the word hueco became synonymous with achillean, however it's been present on the internet since at least 2014. [4]
