It can be easy to lose track of all the current definitions for the word "woman;" at times there seems to be a new one every week, even at one of the oldest and most respected institutions on the entire planet:
Cambridge Dictionary was accused of kowtowing to ‘a few woke activists' today after it updated its definition of ‘woman' to include anyone who ‘identifies as female'.
A supplementary definition in the online dictionary now states the word can mean ‘an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth'.
Examples of usage include ‘Mary is a woman who was assigned male at birth' and ‘she was the first trans woman elected to a national office'.
Time was, it was pretty easy to define "woman." It was, you know, an adult female member of the human species. Just, you know...a woman.
These days, however, lots of people seem to think it's way more confusing than it actually is.
