Just double check the start time (they\u2019re all in PT), jump into chat, and join their world.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>Twitch faced widespread condemnation from both sides of the political aisle, with conservatives pointing out the obvious fact that \u201cWomxn is not a real word,\u201d while the BBC reported that \u201cLGBT communities online called the change transphobic because it suggested trans women were not women.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Twitch isn\u2019t the first major organization to make the same open attempt to appear \u201cinclusive.\u201d In September 2020, TEDxLondon<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/tedxlondon-says-womxn-instead-of-women-explicitly-includes-non-cisgender-women\"><span>used<\/span><\/a> <span>\u201cwomxn\u201d to \u201cexplicitly include non-cisgender women,\u201d and in December 2018, two London <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/we-should-say-womxn-not-women-be-inclusive-wait-no-ashe-schow\">student groups<\/a> vowed to start using \u201cwomxn\u201d instead of \u201cwomen\u201d in communications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>There are two fundamental facts which demonstrate the absurdity of this latest foray into radical Leftist fantasy. Linguistically, \u201cwomxn\u201d is not a word. Biologically, transgender women \u2014 by definition \u2014 are not women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>However, there is another argument which should not only put an end to the absurd use of \u201cwomxn\u201d \u2014 let alone its use to include men as women during Women\u2019s History Month \u2014 but also other \u201cmodern\u201d words like \u201cLatinx,\u201d another supposedly \u201cinclusive\u201d term used by just<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/hispanic\/2020\/08\/11\/about-one-in-four-u-s-hispanics-have-heard-of-latinx-but-just-3-use-it\/\"><span>3%<\/span><\/a> <span>of Hispanics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This argument rests on the fact that you cannot make a gendered term \u201cgender neutral.\u201d The word \u201cwoman\u201d relates entirely to biological sex, with its sole use being to assign or describe sex and\/or gender. The attempt to make such a word \u201cgender neutral\u201d is nothing other than an attempt to erase or dilute its core and only meaning. It would be like someone working to replace words for colors or numbers, instead using meaningless creations which serve no linguistic purpose except to erase the original word and its meaning. \u201cThe sky is bleep.\u201d \u201cBloop plus bloop is bloop.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ultimately, the purpose of words like \u201cwomxn\u201d is not to include men who think they\u2019re women, but to exclude those who believe that sex exists by removing our vocabulary to argue otherwise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It\u2019s hard to commemorate the centuries of feminist progress on Women\u2019s History Month as we watch men take even the word \u201cwoman\u201d for themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Ian Haworth is an Editor and Writer for The Daily Wire.
