Cambridge Dictionary changed the definition of the word “woman” and critics are not happy about it. Christopher Rufo, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, shared the new definition on Twitter. According to the dictionary, a woman is “an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.” The dictionary includes two examples of using the word. “She was the first trans woman elected to a national office,” one example states.

So a person can be whatever they choose to be by simply announcing it despite their XX or XY chromosome which cannot be changed. One’s physical “attributes” are meaningless and should be ignored. So can my pronouns change from day to day depending on my mood? That’s a stupid question because the entire premise of this definition is ridiculous.

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. ...2 Timothy 3. Remember, in the beginning, God created man and woman. They were created and not assigned.

Well, out of curiosity I looked up the Cambridge Dictionary definition of "female"
"belonging or relating to women" and the second example was "She was the school's first trans female athlete."
So, they have basically said that the definition of "woman" is "an adult who lives and identifies as female", while they define the word "female" as I noted above. This is circular logic.

I don't care what the dictionary says anymore. If a person does not have an uterus and ovary and milk producing breasts, he is a man or maybe an eunuch. A woman who has those items cannot produce sperm and impregnate a real woman or a fake man. She is not a man. Let's get real for once.

Definitions such as this render the Cambridge Dictionary as worthless.

If you put a Bentley grill on a Volkswagen, is it a Bentley or still a Volkswagen?

And if I identify as an Indian, can a plastic surgeon turn me into one? By the way, my dog obviously thinks he is a human…

This is easy.
A woman is a human with XX chromosomes.

It really doesn't matter how many machinations these mentally ill men invent to make people call them "women". No uterus? Not a woman.
I have also noticed that when called on their b.s., they fall back on physical aggression and masculinity.

Changing the language to whatever you want something to mean is the goal! Orwellian!

Seems the “know it all elite” are out to completely get rid of women. Not even allowing women obese individuals class citizens. Just take their whole identity away.

We need a new definition of "dictionary". And I got some ideas but they are not fit for this Lucianne forum.

Changing the definition of a woman is an outrageous and stupid action takenby supposedly intelligent people.

Astonishing that political passions can get people to go along with such silly nonsense.

If you need a dictionary to tell you what a woman is…you must be a democrat.
