For those of you who celebrate whatever you’re told each month, you’ve no doubt indulged in March merrymaking over Americans with ovaries — after all, it’s Women’s History Month.
But at a southern college, they’ve revised the observance.
Georgia State University sings a modern tune, rather than calling out women, ladies and girls, moms, sisters or chicks, but instead of hailing them, they are singing a contemporary melody. As noted by Campus Reform, the school’s theme this year is “In Our Gardens: Celebrating Womxn Past, Present, and Future.”
The adjustment is eminently more inclusive — now all identifying as female can bask in the light.
Amid such updated illumination, GSU’s relishing the “Inspiration, Impact and Influence” of those who’ve made herstory.
From the school’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion apparatus:
Georgia State University centers and departments are commemorating Womxn’s HERStory Month during March, designated in the U.S. officially as Women’s History Month, alongside International Women’s Day on March 8.
Here are four weeks worth of celebrations:
- March 4: In Our Gardens: Womxn’s HERStory Month Kickoff Gallery Installation
- March 24: TRANScending Athletics
- March 25th: C2 hosts the WOC Nation Brunch (Womxn Of Color): Celebrating Womxns of Color
- March 30, 2015: 50 years of Title VIII: What a Journey!
- March 31st, Queer Destress Fest
TRANScending athletics offers the inside scoop on how to make sports fairs more fun:
We invite you to join us at this critical discussion about the intersection between trans identity and sport. This panel discussion will focus on affirming trans identities, the best ways for trans athletes to navigate their sport and ensure fair play. Students will be informed about current laws and debates regarding transgender athletes through a panel discussion.
Apropos of Title IX, womxn aren’t the past, but they’re positively the present:
🥇First transcriber was Lia Thomas, a swimmer. @NCAAChampion, she took home the 500-yard freestyle for women.
🏊 @USASwimmingA new policy to allow transathletes to compete in elite events was unveiled last month. The criteria aims to minimize any “unfair advantage”.

As for the future, they’re likely that, too:

“Women’s History” used to denote a certain succession: In the beginning, American gentlemen outclassed ladies in the social sphere; in 1920, the 19th Amendment let citizens with cervixes vote; in the 60s, feminists fought for more equal footing.
No longer does that apply: You can identify yourself as either a man or woman. Insert such into 1920, and ambisexual suffrage needn’t be attained. Come to think of it, the same is true today — we could abolish the 19th amendment and simply consider all Americans male.
Maybe then, there’d be a Mxn’s History Month.
Regardless, for the time being, it’s a womxn’s world:
Miss Nevada: Biological male identification as woman wins
Reporter: ‘Biological Males’ Is a ‘Serious Anti-Trans Slur’
The Emmys Nominates Its First Biological Male for Best ‘Lead Actress’
For International Women’s Day, a Vagina Museum Celebrates Biological Males and ‘Gay Vikings’
Stay tuned for the making of even more Womxn’s History.
And to all you womxn out there, GSU wants you to know you’re seen, supplemented, and inclusively in the club:
The term “womxn” is used by the [Cultures, Communities & Inclusion/Multicultural Center]As an inclusive term, and to recognize individuals who have experiences that go beyond the social norms of womenhood. With the inclusion of the Multicultural Center’s use of the spelling “womxn,” the Center aims to amplify the identities and experiences of women of color, transgender individuals, and individuals who are non-binary/non-conforming.
