Merriam-Webster changed its dictionary definition of "female" to "having a gender identity that is the opposite of male" (archive.vn)

Makes sense given that male is the dominant gender so any gender other than male should be designed as non-male, "female", if you will.

o.O

edit: I looked up male on M-W and it had the same definition entry only with "...opposite of female." so if anything there are only two gender identities according to M-W.

So Merriam-Webster has committed the cardinal sin of dictionary entries by using two opposites to define each other. Let me explain. If you define "impossible" as "not possible", that's fine if you use the entry for "possible" to explain what it means, but if you instead define it as "not impossible" you are no longer able to understand either concept if you didn't know either word before using the dictionary, and you've failed to do the one thing dictionaries are supposed to do. This kinda just shows how bunk PC/SJW/Queer Theory actually is; they've dumbed down what male/female identity is so much that you can only define either one as the reverse of the other, when for forever we just said the obvious. Males are sperm-producing, penis-having individuals and females are egg-producing, vagina-having individuals, and traits that are deemed masculine/feminine are ones that are more often than not seen in one sex over the other.

So female children are anomalous?

You know there's no way they'd give you an acceptable answer to that question.

We can't know the gender of a child. We have to wait until insane parents, doctors and educators have had enough time to try to brainwash them to identify as trans.

Male and female aren't "identities". SJWs are lunatics.

There is no such thing as gender identity. This is an abstract concept. It does not exist.

Male and Female refer to biological sex. A real, tangible, definiable thing.

But there's at least two people in the world that don't fit into this biological definition. Therefore we have to throw it all out the window and do whatever we think feels good. /s

Stupid fuckers too stupid to understand the difference between "male and female" and "masculine and feminine".

What happened to all those claims that sex and gender were two different things?

Merriam-Webster has been shit for decades, so it's not too surprising that the idiots who defined "literally" as a synonym for "figuratively" are the ones redefining words like "racism" and "female" to appease the psychotic left.
