Most of the languages derived from Latin like Portuguese or Spanish not only lack "neutral" pronouns, but also assigns genders to inanimate objects. A door, for example, is not refered as an "it", but as a "she". So normally you'd struggle to add the gender-neutral/nonbinary/whateverthefuck stuff to these languages.
Remember the "latinx"? Basically retarded leftists tried to "correct" this problem by replacing the "a/o" at the end of words with a "x" to make them neutral. Like instead of saying "Amigo/Amiga" (friend), you say "Amigx". But no one besides braindead, gated-community-dwelling leftists used this because: a) it's retarded; b) adding a "x" to the end of words sounds unnatural; and c) the average brazilian lives in near poverty and has more important things to worry about than raping their language for mentally-ill champagne communists.
They made a second attempt by using "e" instead of "x" (amige), but it didn't really work either because it's still sounds retarded.
In the end, most circles either don't care or ridicule this stuff the same way anglos mock "xir/xer". The only people who unironically use this are liberal arts students.
