The Cambridge Dictionary has gone woke with its new definition change for “man” and “woman.”
The dictionary kowtowed to transgender activists, using “they” pronouns and connecting sex to how a person “identifies.”
A woman, according to the update, is “an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.”

The first examples given for a “woman” actually point to biological males:
- “She was the first trans woman elected to a national office.”
- “Mary is a woman who was assigned male at birth.”
A man is defined as “an adult who lives and identifies as male though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.”
The examples for “man” are similar to the ones given for “woman”:
- “Mark is a trans man (= a man who was said to be female when they were born).”
- “Their doctor encouraged them to live as a man for a while before undergoing surgical transition.”
Many pointed out the dangerous and harmful effects the new definition could have.
“The (legal) consequences of this may reach much further than we think. Anyone can now argue they are a woman just because they feel like it and be backed up by the world’s most popular dictionary,” Eva Vlaardingerbroek tweeted.
“Language should reflect reality, not your twisted ideology,” she added. “Stop the madness.”

Seriously, control of language to define reality is Totalitarianism 101. Polish scholar told me in Live Not By Lies that one must have small groups within which language corresponds to reality. Keeping alive memory of the Real is vital! https://t.co/2NrdGZaSMi

The “what is a woman” question has been so effective that they’re now rewriting the dictionary to try and neutralize it. It’s absurd and Orwellian, but also a sign that we’re winning the argument. https://t.co/jAyZJNCBj8

TRANSLATION: A woman is someone who says they are a woman which is a word we cannot define so we define it by using the term in the defintion. https://t.co/XuyzWcKhC1

Notice that the dictionary writers say “*they* may have been.” They couldn’t bring themselves to write “she may have been,” because they know they’re lying. That’s the tell. https://t.co/0en1sGfNMq

I refuse to play along with this delusion. Airbrushed makeup, heels, fake breasts and an exaggerated valley girl voice impersonation does not make you a woman. The fact some people think it does is insulting. Stop erasing women. https://t.co/z1uSsoXtfT

Women should loathe trans activists for their vicious attempts to completely erase us

Issues REAL women face are thrown under the rug so that the cries of men playing dress up can be heard. https://t.co/2ChAgcI1HB
