Cambridge Dictionary has updated its definition of “woman” to include anyone
who “identifies as female” regardless of their sex at birth.
The online dictionary recently added a supplementary definition of a “woman”
which includes transgender people.
It now states that as well as definitions including an “adult female human
being”, a woman can also be “an adult who lives and identifies as female
though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth”.
It gives the examples: “She was the first trans woman elected to a national
office” and “Mary is a woman who was assigned male at birth”.
