Having had this conversation with literally 300+ hispanic people, never once has a single one had a single positive thought about “latinx”. Gendered nouns is literally a large part of their language.
Fun fact; English used to have three genders --masculine, feminine and neuter-- like most of the other Germanic languages, but they got stripped out over the years for historical reasons having to do with the Danelaw and the Norman conquest and are gone by the time of filthy old Chaucer.

That is a very fun fact.
Yea the whole thing started and is mostly used by a fringe people who are going a tad too far with political correctness.
Mind you, I’m fine with political correctness and I’m left leaning but sometimes you can go to far.
But if someone wants to be referred to by those terms then be my guest.
Genered nouns is the backbone of so many goddamn languages. The people being offended by it are the ones that don’t speak that tongue.
