Summary
The overturn of Roe v Wade in the US has highlighted the systematic challenges and exclusions which *womxn continue to face in their day to day lives. Additionally, the rising recognition of the importance of intersectional thinking, shifting definitions of womxnhood, the potential biases in big data, and many other shifting cultural contexts all contribute to an evolving set of best practices for how we should effectively be including womxn within the research process. *Use of the term Womxn acknowledges that gender identity exists in a sphere and one word has room for multiple gender expressions without weighing one more important than another. In addition, it highlights that more than one gender expression can be impacted by patriarchy, misogyny, and sexism. This term recognizes that in the past, the history of feminism has included racism, transphobia and harmful gender binary views.
