Anyone who seriously uses "latinx" in a Spanish sentence is a full blown retard. You don't see people pushing this bullshit in other gendered Latin languages nearly as much, because it is often Chicano and people born to Puerto Rican families, that have never been to Puerto Rico, trying to fix a language without having lived in any Hispanic country. You can't police another language if you are a non native speaker, who does not fucking know how it worked in another country where Spanish is their only official language.
>Latinx does not adhere to conventional grammatical gender rules in Spanish, is difficult to pronounce for Spanish speakers, and is criticized as showing disrespect towards the Spanish language as a whole. In Latin America, terms such as Latine and Latin@ have been used to indicate gender-neutrality; however, the Royal Spanish Academy style guide does not recognize gender-neutral language for the Spanish language as grammatically correct. In English, Latin without a suffix has been proposed as an alternative to Latinx.
>Reception of the term among Hispanic and Latino Americans has been overwhelmingly negative, and surveys have found that the vast majority prefer other terms such as Hispanic and Latina/Latino to describe themselves with only 2–3% using Latinx. A 2023 Pew Research Center survey found that roughly half of U.S. Hispanics were not aware of the term Latinx; of those aware of it, 75% said it should not be used, including 36% who found increased usage to be a bad thing.
