What is 'Womxn?' Why progressives love, and hate, the term
Fox News ^ | June 21, 2022 | Kelsey Koberg

Some progressives champion the term as inclusive, while others say it is exclusionary or offensive

The term "womxn" has been adopted by some progressives since 2010 to serve as a more inclusive term for woman, but outlets and organizations who have used the term have faced backlash from those who believe it is exclusionary to the trans and non-binary community.

According to dictionary.com, womxn is "a woman (used, especially in intersectional feminism, as an alternative spelling to avoid the suggestion of sexism perceived in the sequences m-a-n and m-e-n, and to be inclusive of trans and nonbinary women)."

As early as 1975, the term "womyn" appeared in an issue of Lesbian Connection magazine, and was subsequently used by other organizations and publications. According to The University of California, Irvine's Womxn’s Center for Success, the term was "brought up in intersectional feminist spaces" beginning in 2010, with the Womxn’s March Seattle picking up the term in 2016.

What is a woman? Ask the members of the U of Penn women’s swim team.

Quote from yesterday’s Wall Street Journal commentary about the NYS Supreme Court recent denial of petitioner Nonhuman Rights Project’s application to have elephants declared human:

“...Happy the elephant at the Bronx Zoo, was rebuffed in a 5-2 decision by the New York State Court of Appeals. For now, an elephant is an elephant, not a person, though elephants are clearly smarter than two dissenting New York state judges and the humans at the Nonhuman Rights Project.”

The U of Penn women’s swim team can now rest easy knowing that transelephant Happy won’t be showing up for a spot on the team any time soon. Poor thangs. What, with an assortment of gender confused, genderless, transgender, transpecies, transelephants, pregnant men and plant based Jabba the Hut type beings, each with their own set of pronouns, and each clutching freshly issued judicial decisions from California declaring their humanity as teenage girls. potentially vying for a spot on the U of Penn women’s swim team, the team will look more like a Star Wars bar with flippers than a women’s swim team.

How about they take a cup of shut the fk up.

Men have no say on abortion but now these elites give themselves the privilege to define women and shutting them up.

So much for the progressive gays who got the psychiatry to shut up about them, these traitors now want women in mental wards

They might but they would probably also spit in that sandwich so eat it at your own risk.

“What is ‘Womxn?”

It’s a mis-spelling by extraordinarily ignorant people.

I pronounce it “wimixin”, so to me it’s a female bartender.



And a hot one at that.
