The word was made up by English speaker to comfort their little hearts. It is not a word for native speakers. It’s the same as I start calling you Americanx because I don’t want to say americana or americano on my own language and you have to accept this term as your own although it makes no sense for you to

I'm not going to fucking argue with you, dude.

Yes, the term Latinx means jack shit to a lot of Spanish speakers. There's also plenty of young Spanish speakers who prefer Latinx to latino/latina. You are welcome to disagree with them, but you don't have the right to tell them it's 'not a real word.' That's not how fucking words work.

You're right, that's not how words work. Glad we're on the same page.
