There was some study done on "latinx" and it was like over 90% of Latino people hated the term. And "x" just isn't pronounced that way in spanish to its even more of pushing english nonsense on them.

Not sure how it is in spanish, but our language is gendered too, and that will just mean that in majority of words (all verbs and some other words) we will need to change endings/suffixes or even full structure of words, for every single pronoun and gender there. It is just not possible to do, and crazy. And we do not even have such thing as gender or words for that, only for biological sex.

Only in English language all this situation became possible.

What language, if you don't mind telling me?

You could pick almost any language in Europe. Some may also have a neuter gender. But even with a neuter gender you would have to change thousands of words and and so many corresponding grammatical structures it would be impossible to actually do this.

In English we say x like "eks." In Spanish they say it like equis/ekis. So Latinx would be Latin-equis (latin-ekis.)

Can you imagine adding two whole syllables to so many words just to keep mentally ill people (who are watching your every move just waiting for you to fuck up so they can attack you and cancel you) happy?

Yea Latinx is a nightmare to figure out how to say in Spanish. I still don’t know quite honestly because I’ve never heard anyone from a Spanish-speaking country say that word. Also “Latino” is already gender neutral, so it’s unnecessary.
