New Change in Definition of ‘Woman’ in Cambridge Dictionary
Liberalism’s new obsession with redefining genders has already started finding its way into the books as one of the world’s most consulted dictionaries has changed the definition of ‘woman’ to include transgender people.
Last week, media reported on the change in the definition of ‘woman’ in the Cambridge Dictionary, which how defines ‘woman’ as “an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth”. Unlike the long-held definition of “adult female human” this new definition of ‘woman’ includes men who decide to be called women or, in transgender terms, ‘trans-women.’
The Telegraph reported that Cambridge changed the definition in October this year, but it went mostly unnoticed until now. It noted that the editorial decision at Cambridge was made after they studied the contemporary use of the word ‘woman” and concluded that an update to its meaning was needed for learners of the English language.
Liberals who know of the updated Cambridge definition are cheering the decision. Dr. Jane Hamlin of the Beaumont Society called it “good news” and congratulated the Cambridge Dictionary team for this new “clear, concise and correct” definition. On the other hand, real women and critics of gender-fluidity are frowning upon Cambridge’s update. British independent journalist Sophie Corcoran posted on Twitter that changing the definition of ‘woman’ is an attempt to erase women and reminded that a woman remains an adult human female.
Journalist and political satirist Andrew Doyle critically analyzed the editorial move by Cambridge and a related change in Webster’s definition of “female’ some months ago, equating it with authoritarianism that seeks to put a “chokehold on our society.” He said, “We mustn’t let them get away with it.”
Writing in The Federalist, David Harsanyi called Cambridge’s change in the definition of ‘woman’ an act of “altering the fundamental facts” and corruption of language in an Orwellian sense.
But how can we deny that ideas are corrupting language, and language is corrupting thought?
For now, most of the online dictionaries continue to define ‘man’ and ‘woman’ as they have defined them for ages. The question is whether it’s only a matter of time before the authoritarian abuse of language becomes the norm rather than the exception.
Why is Earnest so obsessed with gender. Oh, there’s his picture. Never mind :>)
All kidding aside, really, why do we care?
Earnest has even tied this definition addition, not change, to liberalism. It’s Cambridge University in England so I guess it’s part of the global liberal cabal. Or maybe they just are modern. Or maybe just English.
Earnest says the definition of woman has changed. It hasn’t. The transgender part is a secondary definition, the primary definition remains as it has, and as Earnest may love (or may not, see picture… :>)
IMO, who cares. Don’t ask, don’t tell. I do not care the gender of a person, I care about who they are, what they represent, and most importantly, what they do and the actions they take. I do not measure Earnest by his picture, heh, heh, but by what he says here. I like to measure the meaning and accomplishments of the man, not whether or not he has a penis, or not, in the past, present or future. I just freakin don’t care. Anyone can take a pee with me, I don’t care. Anyone can do athletics with me, I don’t care. I will go to a good doctor, not just a heterosexual one. Same with lawyers, police, firepeople, you name it. And my kids will always do what they want, they are too strong to be groomed to do something they don’t want. They were raised that way.
People like Earnest seem to have to judge books by their covers and seem willing to look under the covers to do that. Why? What’s to fear but fear itself.
And idiots pay to go to this college?
These people are not transgenders, they are mentally ill people that need to be locked up in rubber lined rooms where they can’t hurt themselves or others with their sickness. This is some scary dung. Our society is going down the crapper and many seem all in with it.
Things will continue to spiral downward as it is obvious that the liberals have all drank from the cup of insanity and therefore are truly insane.
Ignoring them does not work because the things they do has negative effects on everyone when they are allowed to change definitions and brainwash our children in the tax funded indoctrination centers. Our constitution was written for a moral people. It cannot work with such immorality as is happening and that is the purpose behind all of this sick behavior after all isn’t it. To destroy our founding and therefore the country. As the country slides deeper down the crap hole, someone like me speaking out about the sickness will be a dangerous thing to do.
Really, so you are against transgenders but all gung ho claiming the moral high ground for a bunch of guys in frilly clothes and girly white wigs?
You do know that 15 of our founding fathers and mothers were gay, don’t you?
Oh no, life as you know it is over, if only you could be woke and actually open your eyes as it was and is.
I agree, let’s not call it out, put it on a pedestal, but hell, people are people, let us judge them as that rather than be judged on our own prejudices and unfounded fears.
Why do we hate what is different from ourselves? Why do we need to put others down to feel better about ourselves?
Gay is ok if they do not force it on me. The only way a person is transgender is if they were born with both a penis and a vagina. There are a small amount of people that have been born that way. I will give them a pass.
Yes, like Darwin, Ghandi, Issac Newton, Stephen Hawking, Oppenheimer, George Plimpton and Dolby.
and
Borat, House, Rachel Weiss, Gandalf, and Olivia Newton (no relation) John.
What’s in your wallet? High school only maybe. Maybe Texas College in Tyler?
I have some college frank, but I did not let them indoctrinate me like you let them do to you. Darwin is nothing but a theory and one that cannot be proven even a little bit. But, you are the smartest person on here frank and we know that because you tell us regularly.
It takes one to know one Frank. The truth is that queers and trannies are violating the law of God and nature. So go ahead and don’t forget to swallow
If it takes one to know one, then i hate to say it, but you seem to know a lot about this.
Would love to see where God, or nature for that matter, speaks on travesties, ought to be a good one.
But since you seem so interested in people’s sexual practices, origins and current status, I am as I always have been, married, kids, the whole American dream.
I am not sure what you mean about swallow. Can you clarify?
So you married a beard. And God don’t make people queer or transgender. It’s either demonic or mental illness The Bible calls that stuff an abomination. Do you think perhaps that God hates fags. Some bumper stickers say that He does. I wouldn’t go with that.
George Orwell would call this “newspeak.” Submit, or be guilty of “thoughtcrime.”
NOT ALL CHANGE EQUALS PROGRESS !
REARRANGING BODY PARTS IN A
EFFORT TO GET PEOPLE TO BELIEVE
THAT A MAN MADE BEING WILL EVER
DEEMED NATURAL IS JUST NOT USING
COMMON SENSE…
There does not need to be hate prejudice
or any type of phobea to understand this
fact…
THERE ARE ONLY MEN AND WOMEN ANYTHING ELLS IS A NIGHTMARE IN THE MAKING.
ALL THIS GENDER IDENTITY IS SICK. IN 10 YEARS FROM NOW, WE WILL HAVE 100% MORE MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE.
IT IS PARENTS DUTY TO MAKE THEIR KIDS STRONG. WE NOW HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO LOVES ALL THIS SICK ”’PEDO”’ STUFF. ALL HE WILL ACCOMPLISH IS THAT HE RUINS OUR CHILDRENS LIVES.
HE IS UNABLE TO GOVERN THIS COUNTRY, HE AND HIS REGIME ARE UNFIT, SO HE IS TAKING HIS FRUSTRATION OUT ON OUR CHILDREN,BY MAKING THEM MENTALLY SICK.
PARENTS WAKE UP, STOP TAKING YOUR KIDS TO THESE TRANS SHOWS. LET THEM LEARN IMPORTANT THINGS, THAT WILL HELP THEM IN THEIR FUTURE LIVE. ”LGBTQ” IS NOT THE ANSWER, IT NEVER WAS AND NEVER WILL BE.
That was really funny. You have got to take your act on the road.
Thanks for the giggle.
