Let total computable $f$ and $g$ witness $X\leq_mZ$ and $Y\leq_mZ$. Define
$$
h(2n)=f(n),\qquad h(2n+1)=g(n).
$$
Parity testing and integer division by two are computable, so $h$ is total computable. For every $m$,
$$
m\in X\oplus Y
\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad
h(m)\in Z.
$$
Therefore \b[$X\oplus Y\leq_mZ$].
