Merriam-Webster Dictionary Bends Knee to PC Culture, Changes Another Definition

More and more organizations are bowing down before the politically correct culture that is destroying our country in so many way.

Merriam-Webster succumbed to transgender activists and changed the definition of what a male and female is, but real female activists are putting up a fight and aren’t just allowing this to happen unchallenged.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary, which is supposed to be “America’s leading and most-trusted provider of language”, has updated its definitions for “male” and “female”. Changes include the addition of the word “typically” to the primary definitions of genders, in order to be more inclusive of people who identify as transgender.

A female is now described as “typically” – implying not always – having the ability to have children “and produce eggs”. Biological lines were further blurred with sub-definitions, such as a female being of an identity “opposite of male” and having qualities such as “size or delicacy” which could sometimes be associated with the female gender.

In July, the same dictionary changed the term “trans woman” as being “woman” despite being male at birth.

Female activists are outraged. Kellie-Jay Keen has described the blurring of the definition as “sinister”, criticizing the dictionary for putting human rights “in jeopardy” while wondering how women could be protected when they can not be named.

Feminist writer Natasha Chart has openly criticized radical transgender ideology permeating into institutions and dictionary publishers, stating they were catering to “woke” mobs on social media as well as junior employees. She urged them to show their “backbones” by enforcing workplace regulations so that colleagues could not be harassed over political views. In particular, she pointed to attacks against writer J. K. Rowling who has been scrutinized and attacked for her views on gender, being forced to return a 2019 human rights award by Kerry Kennedy, president of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Foundation, who said she had published “transphobic tweets” which were “deeply troubling”.

Ms. Chart dismisses the current developments as “nonsense” and states that men cannot be women purely because of a “state of mind”.
