Sounds reasonable.

But wait. What happens if a Latino/Latina does this, since then it would be their language too? Is the claim that everyone pushing Latinx is non-Latin?

There are movements afoot in German and French to reduce (long term remove) gender from the language. This isn't just a phenomenon occuring at the conjunction of Spanish and the US.

As far as I can tell, that is exactly what the article claims - that Latinx was invented by and is being pushed by signallers only, and mostly non-Latin ones.

As far as I can tell from reading it, that claim is not made in the article [replying to your comment before you edited it].
