While I do get wanting to steer the language away from pointlessly gendering everything (why tf do I need to know if my blender is a boy or girl??) …yeah “Latinx” ain’t it.
To me it always reads phonetically like “lah-teenks”. I hate it.

Except the desire to degender everything is a specifically English endeavor, and only because it doesn’t have gender based nouns. Spanish is VERY MUCH A GENDERED LANGUAGE. Also, Spanish already HAS a neutral article, “Lo” so not even using that while inventing our own bullshit is the most pearl clutching nonsense I’ve ever seen
