Nop! Not a single bit! I doesn't fit the pronunciation rules of most latinamerican countries, not even Brazil. I mean, How do you "say" that? what sound does the X represents? It's like "LatinEx"? That sounds so silly! Like a Kingdom Hearts Villain or something. If you want to be inclusive / non-binary, you better use "Latine" (La-ti-ne). That's how the "inclusive language" works here. Although, I argue that "Latino" is OK either way, since you're talking about the collective from "LATINO-America".

It is important to understand the context of who defined it. It was mainly defined by queer people in various Latin communities as a self descriptor. LGBT acceptance within the various Spanish speaking communities in general is nowhere near universal, which explains why adoption of Latinx isn't a thing. I'd only use the descriptor if I knew that a lot of people there within earshot wanted to use that description.

No, just "latin". Drop the o or a, done
