Cambridge dictionary introduces alternative definitions for 'man' and 'woman'

Ending this year with a positive step by Cambridge dictionary, let us tell you that the conventional definition of man and woman have been altered.

Altered definitions of man and woman

Cambridge dictionary has taken this step to include people who identify as a gender other than their biological one.

The definition of 'Man' now is: an adult who lives and identifies as a male though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.

And the altered definition of 'Woman' is: an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.

However, the original definitions remain unchanged which says that sex and gender identity always adhered to one another.
