Cambridge, Massachusetts will host a “Sports Night for girlx” for “families with girlx in kindergarten through fifth grade.”<\/p>\n

According to the city, the event is scheduled for Wednesday and “girlx will be able to explore new sports, learn about existing teams and enjoy prizes, pizza, games and hands-on demonstrations.” <\/p>\n

According to the flyer, it will offer \u201cgirlx\u201d the opportunity to try out sports such as basketball, cheerleading, football, lacrosse and soccer. <\/p>\n

The term “girlx” is derived from other terms meant to be inclusive, such as “womxn” and “latinx”. <\/p>\n

The city, which is also home to liberal and prestigious institutions such as Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has used the term to broaden its scope to include anyone who resonates with Girls’ Generation.<\/p>\n
