US' Scripps National Spelling Bee included 'womyn' as an alternative spelling for 'women' as part of its list of study words for third-graders. According to Merriam-Webster's website, which Spelling Bee follows, 'womyn' is a variant used in some feminist contexts since it omits 'men' in 'women'. "'Womyn' isn't a real word," an X user said. "What an embarrassment," said another.
