What the hell does "gentefied" mean?

This person was a writer for a show "Gentefied". And the creator for this Netflix show evidently made up the word, changing 'gentrification' to apply to "Latinx" (another recently made up word) communities.

I couldn't stand to spend too much time researching it, but my take is that if a community is "gentefied", it means people in a poor Spanish speaking neighborhood grow up and leave, come back to said neighborhood and try to improve it, which hurts feelings as it is seen as erasing the culture.

Bahahaha they're not even allowed to try to fix things! Progressivism/leftism really is the ultimate decay of culture.

Best I can figure out, it’s a slur against people who improve themselves made by people who like living in the slums and don’t want things to get better. Netflix is promoting the idea that if you came from a shithole country you should bring all the worst parts with you and make America as bad as the place you came from.

If I had to guess I would say it’s a made up word for “became a man.”

Except that this person ostensibly became a woman.

I’m guessing it’s some tranny blog or website but I’m not going looking for it.
