I suspect Latinx isn't on the list because it was so dumb that it was strangled in the cradle before it attained wide usage outside the academy. It had a moment, but it's gone (mostly)
This list doesn’t include Latinx so it is incomplete.

Dems should have fired the idiot who came out with LatinX.

My favourite is “folx.”
Because apparently “folks” isn’t inclusive enough.

It is still used widely in the nonprofit sector.

Basically this. And i think it was strangled right when it came out of the womb, a term so fucking dumb and blistering white it crumbled at the first ray of sunshine
