The Cambridge Dictionary has added a second definition of ‘woman’ that includes transgender individuals. The new secondary definition is written as, “An adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.” Cambridge is not the first dictionary to adapt its definition of “woman” to accommodate transgender activists. In July, Merriam-Webster’s publisher added a secondary definition of ‘female’ that defines the term as “having a gender identity that is the opposite of male.” The online dictionary implied that gender is changeable and not directly connected to sex. So far, Oxford, Collins, and Macmillan online dictionaries have not added supplementary definitions of ‘woman.’
