One commentator argued the Cambridge Dictionary is 'ceding linguistic territory to the radical Left'
Cambridge Dictionary is being criticized by conservatives on social media for altering the definitions of the words "man" and "woman" to include people who identify as a gender other than their biological sex.
The definition of woman, which previously represented the longstanding view on sex, now states that a woman is "an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth."
Similarly, a man is now defined as "an adult who lives and identifies as male though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth."
Rufo also pointed out that the dictionary used the pronoun "they" to describe the subject rather than "she".
"Notice that the dictionary writers say ‘*they* may have been.’ They couldn't bring themselves to write 'she may have been,' because they know they're lying. That's the tell," he tweeted.

We may well need a "Stupid Leftist ####" category going forward for all this insanity.
