(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) The University of Texas at Austin [UT Austin] removed a language guide that offered woke spellings of the word “women” from its webpage.
According to an archived version of the website dated late May 2, UT Austin’s Financial and Administrative Services had a glossary of terms called “Language Matters” that was published on its website as part of its “Diversity Commitment.” However, since May 3, the link now redirects to its Diversity Commitment website, which outlines the department’s commitment to “equity, diversity and inclusion.”
“Having a common language for talking about and across differences is important for mutual understanding and partnership. The language of diversity is evolving and requires awareness, understanding and skill,” the archived website states.
“This glossary, though not exhaustive, is a tool to give you the words and meanings to help make conversations easier, respectful and empowering.”
“Wimmin” was one of the terms that were introduced in the glossary as an alternative spelling that is “used by feminists to avoid the word ending ‘-men.’” Another term was “womxn” which was defined as “a term sometimes used to replace the word women to get away from patriarchal language” that also is “inclusive of trans women and non-binary people, but it is not always accepted.”
The glossary also included the term “womyn” which has the same definition as the word “wimmin.”
Rufo then pointed out that UT Austin removed the guide from its website because leftists in the university got “scared.”
“After I caught them recommending the word ‘wimmin’ in place of ‘women,’ University of Texas administrators have removed their ‘Language Matters’ guide from the university website,” Rufo wrote.
“Unfortunately for them, I’ve archived the page and will report more next week.”
