Why jump around with the different designations for females? You said "Womxn", "woman" and "women" and referred to mothers, then you referred to "childless people".

Thank you for pointing this out. My use of womxn is relatively new (about 1.5 years) and I am still defaulting to the habit of woman/women. This is swap or jumping around is not intentional and is part of my growth process.
As for "childless people," I use this as well to recognize that not all persons without kids by choice or circumstance do not identify as a womxn.
The complexities of language, labels, and identity are evidenced in my purposeful and accidental use of the terms you mentioned.
The primary differentiation in the community I live and work in is childfree vs childless. The others are bigger than the childfree and childless community.

Not trying to be petty, but I'm not sure what womxn means in this context? Could you explain?

Why are you saying womxn? How is this word pronounced and why are you using it?
