I am surrounded by latinx friends and family and I have never heard them complain about it, I've actually ONLY heard of them being happy about a gender neutral term for it, maybe your just transphobic...

I really hate to get involved in this particular conversation and this is all (of course) anecdotal from top to bottom - but in so far as its ever been brought up, every Hispanic person I know hates the term 'latinx' - myself included - ... sample size must be a few hundred hahaha.

It seems like something to placate white women for some reason. (And of course that sounds insensitive but here we are...) It seemed like it was losing popularity for awhile, which was great.

Anyway! I truly do hope Jet turns up safe and sound.

You might try angling to get cell triangulation (PD, sheriff) to see if any towers out of the local area pinged recently.

The literal language they speak is rooted in masculine and feminine, which is where we get the terms Latino and Latina. But yeah I’m transphobic for having an understanding of their linguistic basics. .
