Naysayers call the term a form of “neocolonialism,” or a way for non-Hispanic progressives to control what Latin people call themselves — in other words, a “white people thing.”
Do you think

As someone else here pointed out, they are forcing the Germanic neuter gender onto the Spanish language that does not have it.

Why do they hate it? Because a. it is stupid, and b. its sole purpose is to signal allegiance to the Transgenders.
Next question?

but the newer gender-neutral term “Latinx” attempts to be more inclusive to non-binary members of the population
This new gender neutral term was invented by liberals to try to be “inclusive” to that rare person with gender dysphoria.
Hispanic / Latino people themselves did not invent that term. If they had, perhaps it would be more accepted. But since it was an invention of white liberals, actual Latino people shunt it aside as a farce.

Hispanics are not as liberal as most people think.
The propaganda will not work down in South America.
Here is a perfect recent example in Mexico no less: New textbook backlash continues with protests, book burning

‘Latinx’: Why do many Hispanics hate the term?
Because it's something invented by white liberals and has nothing to do with Latinos, their culture or their language.

It mutilates their culture and language to serve the whims of western Leftists; mostly caucasians.

We hate the term Latinx because it is made up and ridiculous-it is meaningless in Spanish, which uses the male/female genders in conversation-and it is gibberish in English as well-it is just a term someone pulled out of their ass. And the majority of us are Caucasian-our ancestors were from Spain-not Africa or Japan or China-so please stop with that phony crap that we are offended by anything about white people-Caucasian is “white”-duh! Liberals are such idiots...

Perhaps Latinos/Latinas are sane enough to not which to alter their language to “be more inclusive to non-binary members”.

I am a Gringo married to a Mexican from Mexico. She is well educated in our universities will several degrees in STEM. If I called her a “latinex” she would look at me and say, “what the hell are you saying.” She would say it in Spanish which I understand.

Because Hispanics are a monolithic group. They come from different nationalities just like Europeans that immigrated here two centuries ago.

Any change in Spanish Language must come from Madrid not anyplace in the USA—and not to please some woke fantasy of English speakers.
To: artichokegrower
Because it is a made up term that means nothing.
Words have gender.
People have a sex.
That sex is binary.
It is biological and immutable.
I know you hate your life and want to be someone else but no matter what you chop off or glue on you are still you.
