I keep seeing this argument for some reason, so I want to clarify:

1) Gender-neutral x in Spanish ("latinx") is not externally imposed. Plenty of native Spanish speakers used it, some still do. I don't know who first came up with it (it's kinda hard to know that for words, and in any case seems likely to have been independently invented multiple times), but I have seen no indication it was not, y'know, a native Spanish speaker objecting to the genderedness of their language, and in any case it subsequently proliferated via other people using it to speak Spanish. To the extent white progressive Americans use it, they mostly only use it for that one word (because they mostly don't speak Spanish!), whereas the usage in Spanish is widely attested in more or less every gendered word that can describe a mixed group.

2) Gender-neutral x is bad, in my opinion, because it is an inferior unpronounceable version of the current winner of gender-neutral Spanish, gender-neutral e. This is of course subjective. Nevertheless still worth saying.

3) Lots of native Spanish speakers object to gender-neutral Spanish. Lots of native Spanish speakers don't (hi). This is because there's half a billion of us and we accordingly do not agree on everything (or, indeed, anything). It would be ridiculous to take one of these groups and say one of them represents the true will of the population and the other doesn't; it's a live matter of disagreement (as is, for that matter, gender-neutral English among those who speak that language. "It is grammatically incorrect to use singular 'they' instead of 'he or she'" is still a position some people hold).

If you are tempted to say "In Spanish the gender neutral term for people from Latin America is literally just “Latino”", as I just saw on tumblr, you might think you are respecting other cultures by not imposing your own values on them and acknowledging their self-determination. You are not. You are wading in the middle of a cultural conflict and deliberately taking the regressive side. If you heard someone from another culture say "actually homophobia is a valued tradition of ours and we don't want Westerners trying to impose their values here", you would (I dearly hope) not just take their word for it that everyone in their society, including e.g. gay people, agrees. Considering applying that here as well.
