The letters 'XY' refer to trans-womxyn's chromosomes.

Than why refer to trans women as womxyn? Why not just refer to them as women? "Trans" is an adjective.

I add the XY to emphasise their sex. Calling them simply 'women' is misleading. Sex differences are definable, significant & consequential, while self identification with the opposite sex is none of these.

I think originally it was an answer for many companies who started using "Womxn" when speaking about female humans.
