Someone on Emily Maitlis’ twitter thread is now talking about “folx” instead of folk as a respectful way to include all identities. Someone please tell me it was originally a typo and this tweeter is taking the piss. Please?????

Is it like when bisexual wasn't good enough so pansexual had to become a thing?

Well, folx is inclusive in that everyone outside of the twatterverse hates it, so guess it works

Folk is a collective noun, it’s already plural. It doesn’t need an s, let alone an x.

I hate it. I hate folks too. Appallingly twee.

It's real. I've seen it on lots of posts.

Well obviously folk isn’t special enough and exclude all sorts of extra special identities like.... like..... hmmm.........

It's not a typo. It means they are morally better people than you because they put an x on the end.
