> The x is an American invention that is unknown in the culture it tries to adapt
It’s (both “Latinx” and the “-x” to reject the gender binary in Spanish more generally), AFAIK, a Hispanic LGBTQ culture invention, which while originating in the USA, is also used elsewhere (the “-x” ending as an emphatic rejection of the gender binary, not the specific term “Latinx”.) Though its a small minority that use it even in that community.
Its adoption as a generic term for the Hispanic community by large institutions, though, is completely out of line with the community preference.
We who? -e and -@ are both used, sure, but similar studies snd survey to those showing that -x is rarely used in the community show those are even more rare.
Not sure about the culture of Americans with Hispanic heritage, but in actual Spanish countries, at least the ones I have experience with, @ is common (and a bit old), e is somewhat common and x is pretty much unheard of.
