Explain please.
No you can't man the fort anymore according to that woman, you have to staff the fort!

Re: You are no longer a woman, you are a womxn
Well, that gave me a laugh, anyway.The Wellcome Collection Spokeswoman said:
“We should have put more thought into whether this was the right term to use when communicating about the event. We made a mistake, and we should not have used it. We’re sorry that we made the wrong call.
“We invite challenges to our thinking and we listen to our audience, so we’re removing the word from the website and from our communications about the event.”
Hahaha! I'd say they were over-thinking it - they should have put less thought into it and gone with common sense and simplicity in the first place, instead of making up unpronounceable new words!
