In Theory: a gender-neutral form of Latino/a
In Practice: A word invented and exclusively used by woke English-speakers to express their discomfort with gendered language, and impose their values of gender-neutrality on the Spanish language and Latin culture. Its creation and usage is an example of ironic cultural imperialism.

A term used by mostly white English speakers, mostly Americans but also from other English speaking countries, to describe Latin American people. Most people who use this term are either LGBTQ or goth.
Itโs a useless term, because Latino is used as a gender neutral term as well as being a male term. For people who donโt like it, they can just say Latin American, assuming theyโd be English speakers (as the word Latinx canโt even be pronounced well in Spanish).

Kynt: Yeah I love Latinx culture, like Taco Bell, as long as itโs vegan
