Oh I'll happily get started on that one. I'm latina. Latinos very rarely use latinx because it can't be fucking pronounced in Spanish. If you must use a neutral version, latine is more common.

My understanding is that it was originally created in I think Puerto Rico?, but quickly got picked up and pushed by non-Hispanic (mainly white) people. To put it in perspective, 4% of the US Hispanic population uses it (2024)

Don't use latinx
