There is a zero percent chance that a latino gang banger would call themselves latinx. It's a word invented by Americans for a specific context but it's been rejected by the Royal Spanish Academy, which guides all Spanish curriculums in all Spanish speaking countries. It's also unpronounceable to a monolingual native Spanish speaker anyways. Neither consonant cluster exists in Spanish: "latinks" and "latin-ecks" both need a vowel around the k to sound natural.
It's ok to say latino, it's not a non-inclusive word. Grammatical gender is not tied to gender identity, grammatical gender is just an arbitrary designation to make word endings complement each other and "sound right". German has 3 genders, Spanish has two. You could call them A words and B words, Red words and blue words, and it wouldn't change their usage. Spanish speakers don't actually think books are boys and tables are girls.
