Folks is non-gendered, that’s why the “folx” terminology is seen as pandering / virtue signaling / etc. by many, many people. Re: Latinx.

I agree that folx doesnt make sense as a nongendered term, but Latinx is used because Latino/Latina IS (traditionally) gendered.

Even though Latinos don’t like the term because it’s whitewashing their culture.
