Cambridge Dictionary makes definitions of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ trans-inclusive

Cambridge Dictionary has updated its definitions of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ to make the words inclusive of transgender people.

ts definition of ‘man’ now reads: “An adult who lives and identifies as male though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.”

The meaning of ‘woman’ is exactly the same, with the word ‘man’ being substituted for ‘woman’.

“They carefully studied usage patterns of the word ‘woman’ and concluded that this definition is one that learners of English should be aware of to support their understanding of how the language is used.”

They explained that Cambridge dictionaries “are designed to help users understand English as it is currently used”.

Cambridge Dictionary follows Merriam-Webster updating its definition of ‘female’ and ‘girl’ in 2021 to be inclusive of trans people.

Cambridge Dictionary changes definition of 'man' and 'woman': '1984 wasn't supposed to be a how-to manual'

Cambridge Dictionary is under fire for altering the definition of "man" and "woman" to encompass transgender people. Critics argue it erodes truth and elevates far-feft social values.

Changing the definition doesn’t make it true. This is just more pandering to  leftist insanity.

Cambridge Dictionary's definitions for 'man' and 'woman' now include trans people

While the Cambridge Dictionary’s primary definition for “woman” remains “an adult female human being,” a second definition refers to “an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.” Similarly, the British reference guide defines “man” as “an adult male human being” and also “an adult who lives and identifies as male though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.”
