TEDx London - why we’re using womxn

[Kit19]

But not mxn funnily enough 🙄

Still the ratio is a joy. Idiots!

Went to get link for survey and it is no longer accepting submissions. I wonder why????????

@Beamur

TXD pronounced 'thud'

That should be pronounced "turd" surely?

Currently 7.5K comments 2,860 retweets (2.6K quote tweets) & 364 likes on the tweet where they discuss 'why' they have used womxn instead.

And the survey has been taken down.

Countdown to the "why can't you just be kind (you horrible bigoted witches)" tweet starts now...

Even better

"Why cxn't yxx jxst bx kxnd (yxx hxrrxblx bxgxtxd wxtchxs)"

There. Fixed it for you. Hope you didn't mind but it seems that all vowels are triggering.

Do these morxns actually give any explanation of why the word "mxn" isn't used?

The FAQ on their website states that TED is the big brother in the family

Why not big sibling of the family?

Laure big brother is responsible for the newspeak, of course.

@Doyoumind

Now, when they back pedal from this, will it be because of the offended females or the offended TW?

Actually I don't care because genuine transwomen the ones who really have dysphoria are actually just as furious as the rest of us and just wanted the right to have medical treatment and live life quietly

The constant hijacking of intersex, and the misrepresentation of what it means to be intersex, by the likes of these TxDers, totally disgusts me.

I'm so glad that it is being called out for what it is.
( Not a tweeter, so also grateful for the ratio explanation)

Thxy, as in, I'm... too thxy for my shirt

Very telling:

"All the times
@tedxlondon
used "womxn" vs all the times they used "mxn" "

"clock how men get to be "women" but women have to be "womxn" "

And even George Galloway has chimed in (see attachment).

How embarrassing for them

It is embarrassing but they have now let the comments rise to over 8,000 and had womxn trending on Twitter and haven't done anything about it.

Will they do a Body Shop and just ignore and pretend it never happened?

Crying out for a dose of Weekend Rowling, is that.

They aren't actually proper TED though are they? I had a look at their twitter account and it was a bit... ill-informed.

Lot of nxnsxnxe if you ask me.

So pleased to see this from RR.

I ♥️ Weekend Rowling

I still get confused with this.

Are they calling women wxman or are they. Calling women and TW wxman?

Both. The TRAs don't like it either because they implied they were not included in "women" alone. Which of course they aren't to most people.

Ffs.
We're women!!!!!
