The Cambridge Dictionary recently updated its definitions for “woman” and “man” to include transgender people, becoming the latest dictionary to formally expand what it means to be a woman.

We’re becoming more prevalent on the social landscape, in spite of how the GOP, MAGAtites, and RWNJs want us to disappear.
