π WOMEN VS WOMXN β We want to acknowledge that in our past sessions, we have spelt women as womxn with intentions of including trans women. We have learned that using womxn may do the opposite of inclusion. Moving forward, we will be saying women, but with the intention of it not having cisgender women be the default. Women also includes trans women and femmes! We also want to say that how you identify is enough and valid. If you identify as womxn that is valid! If you identify as non-binary and a woman, that is also valid! If youβre unsure and navigating it, that is also valid as we are constantly transforming and growing into our truths.
