I've seen this stat before used to say saying Latinx is bad because latinos don't want it, but like, with the point being to be gender neutral, isn't majoritarianism kind of the wrong way to go? Half of those people who know about it but don't say it are men, and the majority of the rest are cis women. How do trans people who are latinx/latino feel about latinx, and ESPECIALLY how do nonbinary latinx/latino people feel about it? Tbh, if enough nonbinary latinx/latino people want the word to be used, the rest can go fuck themselves right? Like, the whole point of the term would be including minorities. It's not just about being inclusive of cis women.
I'm still open to the idea that it's bad, and I do remember hearing that there's a better option for a gender neutral word that is easier to pronounce in spanish, latine i think?

Yep, latine. But latino itself is already kind of gender neutral.
If you don't speak Spanish, why make other people use words that are impossible to pronounce? End Anglo-imperialism
That's why I'm interested in what spanish speaking enbies think my friend.
