hi please please please for the love of god stop using "womxn/womyn" i feel like i shouldnt still have to say this but they were both terms created by terfs to exclude trans women from conversations PLEASE stop using it

obviously that doesn& #39;t mean everyone who uses it is a terf a lot of people are under the misconception that it& #39;s a term created to INCLUDE trans women but that inherently is transphobic +

bc creating a new term when there& #39;s nothing in the meaning of "woman" that doesn& #39;t already include trans women is OTHERING trans women - it& #39;s unnecessary. just say women. that& #39;s what they are

update: i& #39;ve been informed womyn was created as a... fix? for womxn but EYE still am arguing the practicality of womyn is non-existent... i& #39;m hearing its supposed to also include afab people? but i know as an enby trans guy EYE wouldn& #39;t wanna be referred to as a "womyn". idk

i& #39;m sorry i muted this conversation! i don& #39;t want it to seem like i was running away from accountability (bc i was wrong about the origins of womyn) i just get anxious about notifs. unmuting now so the convo can continue !
