Yeah, cause it's even more nonsensical to a Spanish speaker than it is to the English speakers who're pushing it on them.

The entire language is full of gendered words, and those words flip genders all the time when speaking about men and women. To understand what totally unworkable foreign gibberish 'latinx' is to in spanish, take a simple English sentence like 'The hispanic lawyers.'

You can say 'Los abagados hispanos' (masculine) or 'Las abagadas hispanas' (feminine). Or 'Los abagados latinos' (masculine) or 'las abagadas latinas' (feminine) Every single word in the sentence is gendered.

Now insert 'Latinx'.

You can't even get past the first word before you run to the obvious problem. Do you use masculine 'Los', or feminine 'Las'? Using either defeats the purpose of 'Latinx', and you'll run into the same problem with Abagados/abagadas.

The only way you can avoid making 'Latinx' meaningless is... to do the same to every word in the sentence.

'Lx abagadx latinx'

Needless to say, this will never happen.
