The following report is by TND:
The University of Texas — Austin has come under fire for its promotion of alternatives to the term “Women” for those who are bothered by the “-men” suffix of the word.
The Office of Financial and Administrative Services at the university lists a glossary of terms on a webpage embedded within its “Diversity Commitment,” denoting them all as “language [that] matters.” Among the terms listed are “Wimmin,” “Womyn” and “Womxn,” which the glossary says are all alternatives to the traditional spelling of the word “Women.”
Wimmin: A nonstandard spelling of the word ‘women’ used by feminists to avoid the word ending ‘-men.’
The University of Texas glossary of terms lays out.
The glossary provides a little more detail when explaining what “Womxn” means, arguing it is an alternative used “to get away from patriarchal language.”
But the preceding explainer describing what “womxn” means does concede that while the term is meant to be inclusive, “it is not always accepted.”
“Some say the word has evolved and is divisive, and ‘women’ is more inclusive in the LGBTQ+ community,” the glossary adds, linking to a women’s health blog that cites a “medieval historian specializing in gender and sexuality” who calls criticism of “womxn’s” usage “a very white thing.”
In addition to its alternatives to the term “women,” the University of Texas — Austin’s glossary of terms also includes some other politically charged verbiage and acronyms such as “TERF,” “AFAB/AMAB” and “FTM.”
TERF: ‘Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist’ refers to feminists who are transphobic.
The glossary explains.
Other acronyms in the glossary include:
“AFAB/AMAB: Assigned Male/Female at Birth, and may or may not still identify or express themselves with this gender,” and “FTM: ‘Female-to-Male Spectrum’ is used to describe people who are assigned the female gender at birth but identify or express their gender as a male all or part of the time.”
The National Desk (TND) reached out to the University of Texas — Austin’s Office of Financial and Administrative Services for comment, but did not hear back prior to publication. On Wednesday, the university got back to TND following reports it had quietly taken down the glossary of terms.
The university confirmed to TND the glossary indeed had been deleted from the Financial and Administrative Services website.
The page was removed because it was not relevant to the work that Financial and Administrative Services performs.
A University of Texas — Austin spokesperson told TND.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
This is a college education nowadays. This is what millions are going into debt for so they can be brainwashed with radical progressivism, and a hatred for God’s natural order.
What’s next, “femyn” instead of female?
[22] And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. [23] And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. [7] For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. [8] For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. [9] Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. Genesis 2:22-23; 1 Corinthians 11:7-9
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

College education is an absolute and total DISGRACE! A crying TRAVESTY! A total MOCKERY! It’s no wonder the IQ of America is so low it’s below the freezing point!
Parents and their kids winding up in a house mortgage worth of debt, they have the IQ of a tea kettle, and their degree is as worthless as an ashtray on a parachute!
What is happing to this world, is everyone loosing their minds?
