The Wellcome Collection are doing an event about about ‘the ways that womxn are included, excluded, catalogued and classified.’

Rather than explain what womxn means, they link to the Urban Dictionary definition.
www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=womxn

If you’re using a word and aren’t sure if everyone reading will know what it means you could explain it rather than link to a site where anyone can write the definition.

IMO.

From the urban dictionary
Women:
Extremely expensive, extremely time consuming, extremely upsetting, extremely complicated, extremely high maintenance, extremely annoying at times, & extremely emotional all the time. Women also make some very bad cooks, so be careful. Backstabbing gold digging bitches.

Grin I am simply not bothered by such a load of crap!

"womxn"??!!

That's not even a bloody word! At first reading, I just thought the OP's phone was playing up!

Nothing wrong with the existing one imo.

The Trans demand activists are working on changing the OED definition of woman.
