Why are the letters a/e being changed for x

[Motherofmonsters]

Sorry if I'm being really silly but why are a/e being swapped out for X in words.

I've now seen;
Womxn
Latinx
Humxnity
Wxstern

Are they meant to be pronounced differently or is it just a change in the spelling?

It's because Woman and Human contain the word man

Kind of. Womxn is a more inclusive way of writing 'woman' though - it includes all of those who identify as women.

From Urban Dictionary (Vulvanary?) :)

Etymology: "Woman" refers to any adult human female. 2nd Wave Feminists determined "woman" to be misogynistic because it included the word "man" and invented the alternate spelling "womyn." TERFs and other old school feminists took ownership of "womyn" to explicitly exclude transwomen as mid-2010s activists developed their Intersectional value system. The activists invented "womxn" to explicitly include transwomen and non-white women. It is possible that non-white women needed to be specifically included because Intersectional ideology believes any feminism that doesn't explicitly focus on non-white issues is "white feminism"

Unintended implications: that transwomen and non-white women aren't included in the word "women"

Why do other vowels get away scott free?

The only exempt vowels are i and u so far...

Jesxz. I've heard it all now. Paw Patrol a symbol of white hierarchical domination? I thought they were dogs?! Surely somebody's taking the piss with that?
