I think it is to late to change the name to be honest, regardless if it is good or bad.

Are we going too far with political correctness? What's next? Changing Men in Black to People in Black? If Hollywood decides to make a Watchmen movie reboot, should we call them Watchpeople and Minuteforce?
I will always refer to Xavier's team as the X-men. They can't force us to stop calling them that.

4 movies of JLaw as Raven. Lawd.
They couldn't find other nudist?
"Cable was right!"
I don't think its outdated. the usage of "men" is meant to include both/all genders. it's the same as if someone would refer to women and men as "they." sometimes there is a thing called being too PC and this is one of them. leave the name and team as they were created: the xmen.

ALL HAIL THE HADARI YAO, THE OMEGA'S OMEGA, BEYOND OMEGA, THE VOICE OF SOL!!!! NOW AGAIN THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY GODDESS OF THE X-MEN AS CLAREMONT INTENDED!!!!!
I'm sure someone else has already posted this but just call them "X-People" instead, assuming a change is even necessary.
"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
But why are people getting riled up? As far as I know, there isn’t like a petition or organized rally to get the name changed. It’s literally just someone’s opinion on the name. There is no way it’ll actually be changed, but that shouldn’t mean a discussion on why that name may affect some people a certain way can’t happen. It’s a contradiction of rhetoric that claims that being too PC results in censorship when the only thing really getting censored is that same opinion that gets people mad.
I already predicted a few weeks ago in some thread here that we would see an end to the name “X-Men” with Hickman coming in. (Not because of Hickman mind you, I just think that the timing makes sense now).
Now consider this tagline for uncanny X-men 22...
“It all ends here. This is forever!”
Could this tagline be referring to the name “X-men”?

What’s the internet even for if not getting pointlessly angry about something trivial that’s not even happening?
