Impressive: Twitch kicks off 'Womxn's History Month' by inclusively pissing off everyone (including trans women)

Today marks the first day of Women’s History Month.

IF YOU’RE A CIS-HETERONORMATIVE TRANSPHOBE, THAT IS.

If you’re woke, like gamer livestreaming platform Twitch, you know that March is all about celebrating womxn:

Let’s hear it for all the amazing womxn out there!

At least the misandrists of old landed on the pronounceable "womyn," what the hell does one do with this https://t.co/piHhBTyXBq

Well, based on the video, “womxn” is pronounced like “woman” or “women.” So, you just have to know that they’re talking about “womxn.”

Latinx was meant to degender latino/latina. Why is the x here? https://t.co/xuLQgT9a4j

Because boomer wine mom feminists back in the day decided that having the letters "men" inside a word somehow meant that women were a derivative of men. The replacement used to be womyn. Even their random letters are moving backwards. https://t.co/iTglEGb3EC

It’s called “progress,” sir.

When people spelled it that way jokingly I used to roll my eyes because it felt too over the top. Not anymore! https://t.co/v5i23QDTNv

No, this is very, very serious. Because people who use “womxn” earnestly are very, very serious people.

Womxn's H**tory Mxnth

I thought the Zaphrons defeated the Womxn in a battle in the asteroid belt of Trivutov. https://t.co/LLgV4KdS7K

Seriously, one of the main things trans people, in this case trans women, want, is just to not be outcasted. They don’t want to be considered this specific name for being trans, they just want to be called the same thing any other lady is called.

Is it really that hard to do?

Hi @Twitch! Please consider using women rather than womxn https://t.co/WXXkWqLtv7

Its not really a term anyone uses. In fact it's actively considered transphobic for its implications that trans women don't get use of the term women

when will u guys learn that replacing woman with wxman 2 include trans women is just making a separation between the 2 & kinda makes it seem like u didnt think they fit in the category of woman in the first place

— mocha!!!!! (@calicokritter) March 1, 2021

i understand and appreciate the attempt at inclusion, but if you intend on celebrating trans and cis women, that's just women. "womxn" is otherising.

i rather be called tr*anny than womxn tbh

Being transphobic to get extra wokepoints

— Ter0zak (@Ter0zak) March 1, 2021

Corporations being transphobic while trying to get progressive brownie points is hilarious

— Plant (@PlantRulx) March 1, 2021

When you’re so inclusive that you’re actually transphobic. And misogynistic, of course.

As a misogynist, I fully support the use of "womxn" because I like to see women being erased.
Thank you.

So women's history month is about…men…now?

Seriously, guys, I've been a competitive arcade gamer since I was 14. This is preeeeeetty insulting to the strides we've made to be included in largely male-only spaces. https://t.co/LTU6QCvZbk

It's women's history month

Let's kick it off by erasing the words woman, women, sister, daughter, mother

Yay women https://t.co/DdqDFL1Cs2
