Check the replies.
They say a lot of TRA work the tech job that decide these kind of thing digitally. What you think?

This to me only confirms JK is right yet again.

Unbelievable. Telling lies doesn't refashion reality. You'll still never be a woman.

I believe this sums up what I have to say to that!

And please, when has a feminist ever advocated for harm against a trans person? 🙄 The threats against women are well documented, you'd think they'd have their own receipts if this were the case?

Sounds like it was written by a 12 year old throwing a tantrum, bless.

I think they need to have a peek on terf is a slur and add to their definition "often accompanied by rape and death threats".

Who writes for them? Is it like Wikipedia where any idiot can edit an article or do they have self identified linguists doing it?

Childish and pathetic.

I just can't take this nonsense seriously, it's too badly written. But interesting to see most of the replies are critical of dictionary dot com

One of the examples given on the website

Can’t be bothered with the article but I enjoyed the comment:

Tired of Explaining Reality to Fuckwits

I think they might have just over boiled the rice.

VaggieMight · 06/08/2020 23:58

That graphic says it all.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 06/08/2020 23:40

Excellent choice if graphic on that tweet though.

Now that TERF and transphobe basically just mean "woman".

Of all the ridiculousness, I now have to boycott a dictionary
