> The "X" suffix is an attempt by younger Spanish speakers to introduce a neuter gender to their native language.

This isn’t true. The term is enormously unpopular with latinos, only 3% use it. The entire spanish language uses gendered nouns, and unlike german has no neuter. The term may have originated with puerto rican academics but it is mostly used by English speakers.

It’s being driven by non Hispanics. Almost an example of a group using their privilege to force unwanted action on a minority.
