New photo Snowflake students replace word ‘women’ with ‘WOMXN’ because the traditional spelling contains ‘man’

University students are refusing to use the words 'woman' and 'women' because they have been deemed 'offensive' and include the word 'man'.

Instead, members of the female sex are being referred to as 'womxn' by students at both Goldsmiths, University of London and Kings College London.

At Goldsmiths, the Students Union has ceased to use the words women and woman in  its publications, since 'womxn' has been deemed more 'inclusive' of all students, including those who identify as transgender.

Elsewhere in the city, societies including the 'KCL Womxn in Physics' club at King's College are also using the word.

Posts on social media pages run by the Goldsmiths Student Union have advertised 'womxn's yoga' and 'womxn's events' over the last six weeks, although there was no official announcement regarding the decision.  

The last time the term 'women' was used on the official Goldsmith Students Union Facebook was October 12, as an event for 'Black Women in Academia' was advertised.

The word 'womxn' on Urban Dictionary is described as: 'A spelling of "women" that is a more progressive term that not only sheds light on the prejudice, discrimination, and institutional barriers womxn have faced, but to also show that womxn are not the extension of men (as hinted by the classic Bible story of ) but their own free and separate entities. More intersectional than because it includes trans-women and women of color.'

Rejection of the word 'woman' dates back to the Seventies when the word 'womyn' was adopted by feminists to delete the word 'man' .

It was believed the original noun made females seem inherently reliant on man.

However, 'womyn' was controversial because it was seen as being associated with white, cisgender (a person whose gender identity matches their sex at birth) feminism.

In recent years, the term 'womxn' has been used instead. 

The word 'womxn' caused controversy earlier this year when a feminist organisation sponsored by fashion brand H&M used the word 15 times in an email.

Some black and trans women said they were furious people decided they needed a new word to include them - because they are women.

Student groups at King's College in London also replaced the word 'women' with 'womxn'

Others said they were simply confused about how to say it.

Times reporter Lucy Bannerman asked: 'P.S how do you say it in PR meetings? Woomksn? Wombskin? Womixen?'

The word 'womxn' has caused widespread debate over whether not it is inclusive of divisive.

Journalist Rebecca Reid trans women are 'held responsible for this pseudo woke erasure of the female experience'. 

A spokeswoman for the Goldmsmiths Student Union said:  'Womxn is used to demonstrate our commitment to inclusiveness. No student has complained about its use.' 

The universities and the unions are separately governed and the universities say they have no plans to scrap the words. 

The issue has been a hot debate on Twitter with some claiming the word's use causes hostility towards people who did not ask for it

Another Twitter user said women could be 'redefined' if the term 'womxn' catches on

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
