Cambridge Dictionary is being blasted by critics online for revising the definition of “man” and “woman” to include people who do not identify with the sex they were assigned at birth.
“Man” now includes the definition “an adult who lives and identifies as a male though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.”
In the same vein, the updated definition of “woman” reads “an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.”
Both definitions previously reflected the ‘outdated’ views on sex, which assumed that sex and gender identity always adhered to one another.
The changes were quickly derided on the Internet, with political commentator Steven Crowder tweeting “Remember, if you can control the language, you can control the population.”
Daily Caller writer Mary Rooke called the dictionary writers “F-ing traitors to the truth.”
