Merriam-Webster’s dictionary attaches a secondary definition to the word “female” aiming to satisfy the transsexual language police.
"Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary has caved to the trans agenda. In order to appease woke activists, the dictionary publisher has added a secondary definition of 'female' that defines the term as 'having a gender identity that is the opposite of male'. The key term here is 'gender identity', which demonstrates that Merriam-Webster maintains that gender is not directly connected to sex. A female is a woman. Trans-identifying males are not female. However, according to trans activists, men can be women.
This is not the only part of the definition that has changed in the online edition of Merriam-Webster. Notice the primary definition of female: 'Of, relating to, or being the sex that typically has the capacity to bear young or produce eggs''. In Merriam-Webster’s tenth edition, the dictionary defines the noun female as 'of, relating to, or being the sex that bears young or produces eggs'. The change in the online edition to include the phrase, 'typically has the capacity' shows Merriam-Webster’s attempt to include trans-identifying males in the definition of female. While this phrase may refer to women who cannot bear children due to infertility, given their nod to 'gender identity' in defining the word 'female', it is most likely another way to appease the trans community". -Jack Wolfsohn, National Review
One wonders which other words and terms in the past have been redefined from their historical and temporal context to align more with the political and socio-cultural sensitivities of the day.

This is why the truth must be stated at all costs. Regardless of how contrary it may be to even the most prevalent and pervasive forms of the present-day zeitgeist.
It's an egalitarian road to hell. The so-called moderates from back when who “didn't see color” were the harbinger of those today who claim they “don't see dichotomous sex”.
Like it or not, the inevitable slippery slope has already reached the point where an all-male throuple is looked upon as no less “parentally fit” than a lawfully wedded husband and wife by many adoption agencies throughout the United States.
