'Woke' Cambridge Dictionary updates definition of 'woman'

Dictionary was accused of kowtowing to ‘a few activists’ today after it updated its definition of ‘woman’ to include anyone who ‘identifies as female’.

A supplementary definition in the online dictionary now states the word can mean ‘an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth’.

Examples of usage include ‘Mary is a woman who was assigned male at birth’ and ‘She was the first elected to a national office’.
