Sure, but doesn't that apply to every such label? Latinx is the "controversial" term and Latino/a are the "accepted" ones, but that's just because we're having this discussion now; surely further back in history Latino/a were just as unfamiliar as Latinx is today.
Put another way: what label is not arbitrarily decided by pleas from some subset of that group and/or popular usage?
