I& #39;m going to make a good-faith effort to summarize what I& #39;ve heard as reasons for not liking "womxn".

- It was created by TERFs.
- It& #39;s only used by ignorant cis people.
- People use it to say that all non-binary people are women.
- People use it to say that trans women aren& #39;t women.
- Screenreaders might choke on the word.
- It& #39;s unnecessary as we have "women" already.
- It upsets trans women.
- The meaning is confusing.

Have I missed any?
This is seriously a good faith effort here. I& #39;m not trying to mischaracterize anyone& #39;s positions. I& #39;m taking them as serious criticisms and addressing them.
- It removes "men" from "women" which is transmisogynistic.
- It looks like "womyn" and TERFs use "womyn."
I& #39;m serious, if there are others I& #39;ve missed, I want to include them.

I& #39;m not going to respond to them in this thread, but I do want to address many of these because they seem misguided.
