New Dictionary Definition for Man

NY Post:
“Man” is now includes the definition “an adult who lives and identifies as a male though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.”

In the same vein, the updated definition of “woman” reads “an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.”

I am expecting:
A dog is an animal that lives and identifies as a dog though it may have been said to have a different animal identification at birth.
Update: A comment reminded me of this quote:
How many legs does a dog have if you call his tail a leg? Four. Saying that a tail is a leg doesn't make it a leg.

Abraham Lincoln

Lincoln would be considered transphobic today.

Two examples:

A man self identifies as being a man.

A man self identifies as being an Apache attack helicopter.

While you can say you identify as whatever you would like,

you can't actually be whatever you would like. There is a difference, words do have meaning.
It's time folks remember that.
