Merriam-Webster Dictionary Adds Pro-Transgender Terms From 'Science and Medicine'


Even Merriam-Webster gave into the power of Trannyism


Late last month, the Merriam-Webster Dictionary added new definitions affirming transgender identity, claiming the terms came from "science and medicine." These terms overlooked the criticisms of detransitioned former transgender people and radical feminists who claim that transgender activism "erases lesbians."

The dictionary announced a new slate of words on April 23, introducing new meanings for old words, new compound words, and new words from three categories: business, entertainment, and "science and medicine."

Many of the words were apolitical, and many of the science and medicine terms were genuine additions based on new scientific terms.

Three of the new words, however, involved the politically-charged issue of transgender identity, and two of them involved an explicit endorsement of one side of the issue.
Merriam-Webster defined "gender nonconforming" as "exhibiting behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits that do not correspond with the traits typically associated with one's sex." This term seems less controversial. After all, many men are effeminate and many women display some traits traditionally considered masculine.
