Womxn : sticks and stones : acrostics and poems to reclaim the words that have hurt us
Wren-Sillevis, Lexy2021
Books
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', 'womxn' is also inclusive of trans and nonbinary women. 'Sticks and Stones' is a powerful reclamation of the slurs and insults thrown at womxn for centuries. It's a righting of wrongs - a rewriting of sexist, belittling and shaming language. It's a tool for breaking free from the stereotypes and impossible standards used to confine womxn, transforming them into messages of resilience and resolve.
