Singular “they” has been used since the 1600s at least. Neopronouns are like xim and xer. Which I have never seen anyone use in the wild, honestly. And I’m in the QUILTBAG as well.
I’ve seen e/eir/ey used in old scifi stories from the aughts.
I guess that doesn’t really count as “in the wild” though.

Latinx was such a stupid choice. Let’s take gendered words with a vowel at the end and replace the vowel with a hard consonant. It makes it so much harder to say and sounds wrong.
They should have picked a more sensible sound that flows like the original words.

Yeah I understand why x looks good on paper. As soon as you try to use in in spoken dialog the flaws become apparent. It’s clearly not going to work.
Latine is much better, -e for neutral gender has some decent traction
It’s common for neopronoun users to not use them “in the wild” because they expect to be disrespected. Often they’ll have a set of standard pronouns that they use normally and only pse neopronouns in spaces they know to be affirming
