If we insist on mutilating Spanish to satisfy intellectual fads, something like "Latine" would be better.

The broader issue is that having grammatical noun classes/gender serves an important purpose: not enforcing the patriarchy, but instead disambiguating different words and antecedents (basically adding an extra bit or two of information to a word).

Couple this with the fact that the whole "Latin[aeox]" terms aren't even inclusive to begin with. They are generally are used to broadly describe "a person from central/south America", except they are entirely Euro-centric, as if Latinos showed up to uninhabited open land. More than likely, the Qʼeqchiʼ person from Guatemala, who barely speaks Spanish, who has 100% Mayan ancestry, doesn't self identify as "Latino".
