Cambridge Dictionary changes the definition of ‘man’ and ‘woman’

The Cambridge Dictionary has altered its definition of ‘woman’ and ‘man’ to include people who identify as a gender different from their biological sex. The definition has been made to make the dictionary more inclusive.

It has updated its definition of “Man” to include “an adult who lives and identifies as a male though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.”

According to the popular dictionary, “Woman” has been altered to have a definition of “an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.”

The new definitions are inclusive of trans people. However, the Dictionary is being criticised for including people who do not identify with the sex they were born with.
