I saw this today in a post on Facebook. It’s not a typo as it was used a few times. Is there a reason it’s being spelled like this? I’m relatively new to being a vocal feminist so still learning about terminologies... but this didn’t sit right with me. Happy to learn if it’s ‘the new way’ and there’s a good point to it.

I've seen it used by trans activists, not by women though.

I've never seen it spelt like this before but my guess would be as us biological women have XX chromosomes not XY like men or men who identify as women.
