Thumbs down Cambridge Dictionary updates definition of ‘woman’



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”.
