Cambridge Dictionary updates definition of ‘woman’

Nope. No mental illness here.

Cambridge Dictionary has updated its definition of ‘woman’ to include anyone who “identifies as female” regardless of their sex at birth.

The online dictionary recently added a supplementary definition of a ‘woman’ which includes transgender people.

It now states that as well as definitions including an “adult female human being”, a woman can also be “an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth”.
