No binarie, “e” it’s used to imply gender neutral. Which is why latinx is an oxymoron, because in Spanish would be “latine”.

Latinx is something that English speakers that don't understand the Spanish language came up with. It's unpronounceable and annoying.

I always thought it ended the same way as Kleenex brand tissues. The one you want when the snot gets hot.

Same problem as portuguese. People insisting on "elx" or "todxs" instead of using a fucking vowel really should've spent half a second thinking about how to pronounce that shit. Hell, even with @ it doesn't help at all, we spell the symbol as "arroba", so it implies feminine gender in the end
