What’s your definition of womxn?

[BabyTeeth]

The Wellcome Collection are doing an event about about ‘the ways that womxn are included, excluded, catalogued and classified.’
wellcomecollection.org/events/W5e9eyYAACUAMqcz

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.

Reversed, I hope that means? Or is that too much to hope for

Damn my clumsy fingers - yes, reversed, clambered doon frae, did an about take. 😂

Yay.

Another success.

Tide's a turning.

More intersectional than womyn because it includes trans-women and women of color.

The more this bullshit continues the more appealing 'cervix haver' is starting to sound.

I'm thinking of starting a political movement for cervix-havers. Who is with me?

Although I'm unsure whether it's because they genuinely saw the error of their ways or were just a-frighted by all the suggestions that they were actually transphobic towards transmen because they hadn't amended men to 'mxn'.

But hey, whatever gets the job done. 👍

This event is part of Daylighting Gaslighting...

I would assume that someone who described themselves as a "womxn" was an attention seeking prat.

If urban dictionary is saying 'mxn' is 'Mexican, then surely 'womxn' is an adult female Mexican

Last night a very woke young man told me trans women are women and black women are women

I do so love it when men try to explain things to me.

I don't get nearly enough of it in my life. 😢

Oh, I just remembered the videos of Yolanda, a black woman who was at the time pursuing some degree to then work in social services. I wonder, how this co-option of 'omen of color' by the 'intersectional' TWAW crowd would go down with her.

I highly recommend her take on the TWAW matter:

And my favorite: Here she describes her clash with academia on the matter.

I am very glad the wellcome trust have retracted and made an actual 'we got it wrong' apology
However it has ruined my current game. Mr D (a linguist) had finally got the point of what Ive been saying about female erasure and has been replacing random vowels with Xs all afternoon

(its a lxxgh a mxnxte hxre at chxz Dxdactylxs)

he replied "that can be changed, it's coming soon

There's no arguing with stupid, is there?

Awww they changed it (again).

But I took a screenshot... I hear there are a few (snif) 'goldsmiths' on the payroll...

Feel free to copy it and keep it. And this one 😊

Im sticking with womyn

How the fuck do you pronounce womxn anyway

Actually dont tell me...i dont give a shit

Fxkkx?

Private Eye for the win! I love that cartoon.

Gah sorry, missed a page!

Ocado could take lessons from Wellcome.

They could, indeed. Wellcome were amazingly stupid in the first instance so I'm glad that they properly apologised and didn't go down the weaselly "we're sorry that you feel offended" route.

Do they not have a dictionary in the archive?
