The use of "x" as this sort of cultural signal of "non-binariness" is this highly specific thing from a highly specific (English-speaking) subculture that doesn't really make sense to the rest of the world See also the word "womxn" https://twitter.com/mollycrabapple/status/1293261059495690242 …

I am a Latine formerly referred to as Latina and I approve this notion.

I prefer Latine too, but most of the people I see using Latinx do seem to be Latinx/e themselves (as far as I can tell) so I usually just hate it to myself... Am glad to discover a fellow advocate of the e

-
Not really more than anecdotes, but from what I've seen, most Spanish-speaking natives in Latin America gravitate more towards the -e, because is much easier with our established orthography.

I believe the history of this is: Combine the o and a to make @, Latin@ Push back on a symbol in a word and it not sounding like a word, so replace it with an X: Latinx The sensible thing would've been to switch to "e" to start with.
-
Even more considering that lots of non-gendered words in Spanish already end in -e. Now, the same cannot be said of Portuguese, French or Haitian Crèole, which arguably are just as latine as Latin American Spanish, so there are even more complexities

In my experience, actual Spanish speakers pronounce it as an "e" already Most frequently like "amigxs" pronounced "amiges"

I’ve had this argument many times with people in the US, I feel strongly that the inclusive term should be understandable to people on both sides of the border. The usual response is to dig in their heels.
