CAMBRIDGE DICTIONARY CHANGES DEFINITION OF MAN AND WOMAN
Cambridge Dictionary changes definition of ‘man’ and ‘woman--’Cambridge Dictionary is being criticized by conservatives on social media for altering the definitions of the words “man” and “woman” to include people who identify as a gender other than their biological sex.
The definition of woman, which previously represented the longstanding view on sex, now states that a woman is “an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.”
Similarly, a man is now defined as “an adult who lives and identifies as male though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.”
This change was met with pushback from many, who argued that redefining society’s categorization of gender and sex is harmful and inaccurate. More at Cambridge Dictionary changes definition of 'man' and 'woman' (nypost.com)

IN THE NEWS - RETIRED NAVY TRANSGENDER SEAL DETRANSITIONING, CALLING ON AMERICANS TO "WAKE UP" ABOUT HOW TRANSGENDER HEALTH SERVICES ARE HURTING CHILDREN
TWO ARTICLES:
#1--A retired Navy SEAL who became famous nearly 10 years ago after coming out as transgender announced he is detransitioning and called on Americans to "wake up" about how transgender health services are hurting children.
"Everything you see on CNN with my face, do not even believe a word of it," Chris Beck, formerly known as Kristin Beck, told conservative influencer Robby Starbuck in an interview published earlier this month. "Everything that happened to me for the last 10 years destroyed my life. I destroyed my life. I'm not a victim. I did this to myself, but I had help."
"I take full responsibility," he continued. "I went on CNN and everything else, and that’s why I’m here right now. I’m trying to correct that." Beck gained notoriety in 2013 when he spoke with CNN’s Anderson Cooper about transitioning to a woman.
