it can’t be pronounced by native Spanish speakers - probably because it was invented by white American guy.
a gender neutral ending that can be actually pronounced had already sprung up naturally (-e/-é, so Latiné), and probably would have been more widespread for now if not by fucking white ass culture warrior bs pushing for the stupid dumbass X ending.
