What is a Womxn?
The CPS in the UK has recently announced the hiring of a “Speak-Out Champion”. For those of you who might be wondering whether CPS stands for “crazy, psychotic stare”, it doesn’t. It’s the Crown Prosecution Service and plays the same role as the District Attorneys in the US.
The boys men, women, and alternatives, in blue, red, green, yellow, orange, violet, white, brown, black and light blue (it’s pride month) take their evidence to them to see if they have been able to fabricate collect enough of it to proceed with a prosecution.
The person they’ve appointed in this role, Sophie Cook, has a bit of a history1 on the gender front. Surgically speaking, I couldn’t say whether the history on her front has now been removed, but suffice it to say she does appear to have a somewhat dismissive attitude to some women, describing those who might be uncomfortable with certain current social trends as TERFs
She also has said that the word ‘woman’ should be replaced with ‘womxn’
One twitter user asked, in all innocence, how this word should be pronounced, only to be met with extreme transphobia in the reply “hairy-arsed bloke”. Disgraceful.
I was born in Mxnchester and am adamxnt that this somewhat unromxntic nomenclature2 is a something of a mxnia. If we see widespread conformxnce with demxnds such as these I don’t know how we’ll mxnage. It’s hard to see, however, how to dismxntle trends like these, emxnating like mxndates from the gender mxndarins, and I fear they will become permxnent. We only have a small time left in which to mxnoeuvre.
Since nobody in a position of authority, or within academia, seems to be able to tell us what a woman is these days, I’m confident they won’t be able to tell us what a womxn is either. Or how to pronounce it.
Not being from the US I would appreciate some advice on how to write about Latinas. Am I to now refer to someone as a Latinx womxn?
Linguistic dissonance aside, what in the name of the Itchy Crevasse of Irritation is a “Speak-Out Champion”? And why does the CPS need one?
In Sophie’s own words :
“Independent & impartial, the Speak Out Champion is responsible for improving confidence amongst staff in being able to speak openly about their experiences as part of the CPS’ continued cultural drive to embed EDI throughout the organisation”
Right - so that’s cleared that one up, then. I don’t know how the CPS managed to function without one before. Perhaps people were not allowed to speak about their experiences until now? Did they used to get fired for talking about last night’s episode of Coronation Street3 ?
I can’t wait to see the massive improvement this initiative brings.
I think Sophie has all the right skills for getting people to talk. Here she is interviewing two CPS employees about the new workplace uniform.
Or is it that time she interviewed 2 alien abductees? I can’t remember.
I don’t know if Sophie is similarly uncomfortable with this word - after all, it really does look like “his story” and emphasizes our deeply shameful patriarchal past.
This word is fine - it contains the phrase “no men”

Good sir, this is the first post of yours which has led me to think you may be in need of an editor as I emerge quite confused. In what world is Sophie Cook a "she"? A world in which womanhood is defined by hair length, use of lipstick and mascara, high heels or because-I-said-so bullying? I encourage you to change this pronoun, at the least, to "xhe," since it seems Sophie thinks there is something shameful about a man wanting to do all the things women are allowed to do. As a pants-wearing, makeup-eschewing, ovaried believer in truthful self-acceptance and unconditional love (I believe that's what TERF stands for), I'd have to disagree. Congratulatons, Mr. Cook, on your promotion. You are really weird, and I identify as weird, too. If you weren't part of a movement with actual power and influence, I would go along with your crazy in a heartbeat.
Just one more example of how trying to be accepting of the delusions of others to be nice is a weakness that will result in the destruction of society.
I know that anyone quoting or discussing controversial topics is supposed to self-sensor their language so as to not offend, e.g., saying "n-word" instead of "nigger." I know that my use of that verboten word will cause some to irrationally conclude that I must be racist. (I wrote a short piece about that in my substack). I know that many have decided it's better to go along with the "big is beautiful" narrative so they aren't accused of "body shaming" and refusing to "believe all women" elicits cries of "sexism." But I don't care.
The reason I will not go a.ong to get along is not that I don't care about human beings. It is because I do care that I will not participate in the delusions and absurdities that if allowed to continue will destroy Western Civilization.
Rational human beings must refuse to entertain these delusions and absurdities.
