New offering of Cambridge dictionary..

   One truthful entry, then it offers this;

    WOMAN- an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth:
She was the first trans woman elected to a national office.
mary is a woman who was assigned male at birth.

  ... Seems like Cambridge once tried to deal with truth.

As I've said in another thread. "Definitions" of words and even phrases seem to constantly change over time.

[Lloyd Smale]

scary thing is they us MARY as the womens name. Out of every womens name they could have chosen. Think there was some motive for that!!

I don't know Lloyd, I've tried to pretty much ignore the self appointed scholarly entities. They are constantly trying to rewrite culture, and history.

Discussion of marriage with my niece had her bring up the definition for me from her I phone, I in turn retrieved my 60 ish year old Webster’s dictionary. She said well that’s old and that’s why it’s important to be progressive to which I responded that I am anti progressive. The act of legally uniting a man and woman In wedlock. You have to look way down the list on the internet to get that definition.

 I will settle for the ORIGINAL dictionary, tank you...

    "22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

   (Genesis 2:22,23)
