Sort of the same shit that happened with Latino groups and the whopping 3% that took up the marching orders from their actual imperialist "betters" when the term 'latinx' was foisted on them. Latino and Latina already had a gender neutral option. It was Latino again because sometimes in other languages things repeat.
Like how 'the' in German is "der" when using the masculine nominative but it's also the feminine dative, feminine genitive, and the plural genitive because fuck you for wanting a system that makes sense!
