Michelle Obama Fears For “Womxn” With Roe v Wade Threatened
In the face of the possible repeal of abortion law Roe v. Wade, former First Lady Michelle Obama is apparently worried about the rights of “womxn.” If you’re not quite sure what womxn means, you’re not alone. I had to look it up.
If any of you are questioning whether or not your vote matters, I get it. But remember that state lawmakers are the ones who will determine whether abortion is safe, legal, and accessible in your communities. And we are the ones who determine our state lawmakers. pic.twitter.com/Nafi5LfC8i

I also wonder why she’s leaving out women, wombyx and womyn; why aren’t they worthy of her consideration? It’s not clear. (By the way, my spell-check is freaking out right now.)
Following is a short primer for the uninformed (including yours truly). The first three definitions come from Dictionary.com because Merriam Webster returns the old “not found” when you search for these terms.
- Woman: an adult female person. (Who knew? Apparently not new Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.)
- Womxn: a woman (used, especially in intersectional feminism, as an alternative spelling to avoid the suggestion of sexism perceived in the sequences m-a-n and m-e-n, and to be inclusive of trans and nonbinary women).
- Womyn: a woman (used chiefly in feminist writing as an alternative spelling to avoid the suggestion of sexism perceived in the sequences m-a-n and m-e-n).
- Wombyn: This form is sometimes used to make the distinction between a cisgender woman and either a transgender woman or a transgender man. (This definition is courtesy of Wiktionary.org because neither Dictionary.com nor Webster includes it.
Well, I’m glad we cleared that up! I’m as confused as ever, but hopefully, you’re not. If you want to go into a deeper dive of the difference between women, womxn, and womyn, click here for a useful primer and history of the terms.
Apparently, colleges are getting in the act too:

Regarding Mrs. Obama’s tweet, she also delivers one of the greatest self-owns we’ve seen in a while:
If any of you are questioning whether or not your vote matters, I get it. But remember that state lawmakers are the ones who will determine whether abortion is safe, legal, and accessible in your communities.
Yes, exactly! Meaning that if Roe v. Wade is overturned, abortion is not suddenly illegal in the United States—instead, the matter goes back to the voters and their elected leaders. Which is the way it should have been all along.
She finishes up by reminding everyone to vote: “So when you get home from marching, check your voter registration status with @WhenWeAllVote and encourage others to do the same…”
In other words, stop abusing the Supreme Court Justices at their homes and instead, win the matter where it should be won—at the ballot box.
Let’s circle back to “womxn,” though. The left has been a continuous campaign to change the meaning of words, with pronouns not meaning what they used to, and all sorts of new terms being introduced. Take “Latinx,” the term for Hispanics that they’ve been foisting. A CNN poll last year showed that just four percent of Latinos prefer the term. No matter, say the progressives—we’ll just come up with a new one! Raise your hand if you’ve heard of “latine.” Sure to catch on, until it doesn’t and they have to change it to something else.
The effort to change our language is causing confusion, and division and frankly makes us all look silly. To see a Democratic luminary of Michelle Obama’s stature throwing out these woke virtue-signaling terms with no explanation diminishes her.

Of course Michelle Obama does not know what a woman is.
She is not one, and never will be. She’s a piece of work like the rest of her ilk.
Woke made up terms have no meaning! Sometimes Women who don’t take precautions, or end up with health matters, do need abortions. Nonetheless prevention should come 1st. Then common sense as well as common decency should prevail, terminating as early as possible.(not in 6-7-8-9th mo) True that Courts shouldn’t be in our homes or bedrooms, we decide whom to love, marry and sleep with! Not the court or the churches business! Contraceptives need to be available and used! (all the world over)
These idiotic terms for the word woman don’t belong in abortion talk! IF a man could get pregnant, big IF, I suppose it would be on purpose? So why would abortion be discussed? Men married to men have built in protection as you can’t get pregnant with sodomy!
PLEASE BRING BACK COMMON SENSE TO OUR LIVES protesting, name calling, blaming others, threatening people, only cause pain and destruction, we need to take our lives back.
BTW this womxn along with her husband makes me sick to my stomach! They are actually anti American……
Our country is going to hell. The Democrats are going to far
Changing the way we talk.
Willing to do an absolutely horrid abortion.
Later should always be out. No matter what.
What would Obama’s think if their own daughter decided one day, while pregnant and during the ninth month. And decided she didn’t want the baby, their grandchild. And had scheduled an abortion the next day.
These people don’t care about others, only themselves and and scoring political points. This is sticking. Just
Why not mot make it simple! take the pill or dont screw. Why kill a child and send yourself to hell for murder.
I can only assume that those who use the term womxn are admitting that women only have X chromosomes, two of them. Males on the other hand have both an X and a Y chromosome. Does Michelle Obama refer to men as mxyn? I’ve always wondered why liberal minded folk accept how difficult Progressives make literally everything. Their reason, of course, is to keep everyone in a constant state of confusion over what is acceptable to say and fear of saying or doing something that is not acceptable, according to Progressives.
Since my name is gender ambiguous, I should start spelling it R♂bin.
