The University of Texas at Austin highlighted the word "wimmin" which avoids the word "women" ending "men" on their website’s glossary as an important term to know in order to make conversations "easier."
The University of Texas at Austin Financial and Administrative Services posted a "Language Matters: Glosssary of Terms" under their "Diversity Commitment" program, which includes definitions for a variety of terms like "graysexual" and "stud."
"Having a common language for talking about and across difference is important for mutual understanding and partnership. The language of diversity is evolving and requires awareness, understanding, and skill. This glossary, though not exhaustive, is a tool to give you the words and meanings to help make conversations easier, respectful and empowering," the university's website states.
Senior fellow of the Manhattan Institute Chris Rufo first flagged the glossary.
**SNIP**
The glossary defines "wimmin" as a "nonstandard spelling of the word ‘women’ used by feminists to avoid the word ending ‘-men.’"
The glossary has several other terms describing women like "womxn" and "womyn." Womxn is defined as a way to get away from "patriarchal language" which is also inclusive for trans women and non-binary people. Womyn is defined similar to wimmin.
Another word is "Latinx," which they define as "a gender-neutral term for Latin Americans." They note that "members of Latin LGBTQ communities have embraced it as a word to identify themselves as people of Latin descent possessing a gender identity outside the male/female binary."
Furthermore, the glossary lists "Oppositional sexism" as a term. The glossary defines Oppositional Sexism as the "belief that femininity and masculinity are rigid and exclusive categories."

What if men woke up and changed their word to ‘min’?
"Texas college encourages students to speak like cartoon characters" would have been a better headline!
Regards,
Not just that, but modern wimmin are confirming the worst and most obnoxious stereotypes of women from back in the old days- plus adding a few new ones that not even the most ardent misogynists could think up.
person = perdaughter
Yeah…Austin. The boil on the ass or Texas.
“Here’s to swimmin’ with bow-legged wimmin’”
????
Isn’t women just plural in old English/Germanic?
Like children and brethren?
While modern English plurals took on the -s from French instead of -en, German still uses the -en for a noun plural.
This article starts with “The University of...” and right away you know that common sense, honesty, the history of western culture, righteous thinking, and time honored logic would not be stated in what followed.
The refusal to use the term “men” offends me. Where’s my check ?
So what do the whores look at when they go in a restaurant to eat? Writing on the toilet walls? They definitely don’t want to look at a MENu. It will set them off like a bad MENstrual cycle.
I guess Lia wanted to be one of the wimmin who was swimmin.
Grow up UT.
Sigh – my alma mater is getting more crazy woke by the year. When are they going to turn Bevo the steer into Beva the trans cow?
This “womyn” thing is about 50 years old, it was always about not having to use “men” or “man”.
“ Have they looked into “bitch”?”
————
That was literally my first thought. The idiotic, made up words that they want to use still like the original. So it’s still result in “confusion.“ If you just use bitches, instead, there will be no confusion. Well, except in an all male prison. But that’s a different matter.
Fits in with what Austin has morphed into since the Democrats took over ... FUBAR
“ I find it interesting that all of the equity and visibility women have been working to achieve since the 1920s, women’s suffrage, etc. is now being undone... by men... willingly abetted by other, leftist women. The irony is not lost on me.”
——————
The irony is it lost on anyone who has more than three functional neurons.
What is also ironic is that you can drive feminists absolutely bat$hit crazy by pointing out that men are better than women at everything, including being women. After all, men are winning all of the women’s sporting contests. That’s what they get for allowing the literal mental illness of these trans people to take over or silence the entire feminist movement. Didn’t they fight for 50 years or more for equality, especially in sports? Where are all of the feminist organizations? Then they look to men to solve their problems…maybe they just want us to talk about it?
OK, my new pronoun is ‘min’.
I say that as a old, white, min.
