Changing dictionary definition of woman

[mollycoddle77]

Oh my goodness this is not really happening is it?!! apple.news/Anc5K0ypESZmfy5DbSyQKbA

They want to remove sexist language AND include transwomen in the definition.

They can't just do that can they?

I thought NK there's another thread on this...
And the conclusion is that it's batshit and won't happen

^ "thought NK" = think

Oh phew, sorry, will have a look at the other thread!

My copy of the OED doesn't have any of that in 🤔

Bet they only change the woman definition:

Woman: anyone who identifies as such.
Man: adult human male.

The AWA are definitely going for it though and have been for some time.

@bahhumbygge

that would be worse

man: adult human male
woman: anyone not being man
