Ideologues have this nasty habit of obfuscating, especially when backed into a corner. One of the many slimey tactics that they routinely engage in is the re-definition of words, and since certain dictionaries actually reflect this dishonest re-definition, I feel the need to list several terms that I use routinely. Below are the definitions that I use, and people can argue until the cows come home that my definitions are wrong, but at least you’ll know what meaning I am attempting to communicate. Some of these definitions are written in the most sarcastic manner possible for your entertainment, but nonetheless accurately reflect their meaning in the context that I use them.

Notes
1 – Look, my content tends to appeal to an audience that isn’t terminally online, so that’s why I felt the need to include that definition.
2 – These definitions include individual females who have not reproduced for whatever reason, intersex individuals or those born with mismatched genotype and phenotype, members of species in which the females are heterogametic, but excludes oddities such as male seahorses (which bear offspring, but produce spermatocytes), and of course, transsexuals. Fight me.
3 – I’ve included the commonly accepted definitions as well as the contested definitions invented by woke activists because people need to be aware of this little tidbit of linguistic propaganda, i.e. the constant attempts to redefine racism as “prejudice plus power,” which despite what the woketards might say, is not widely accepted in the field of sociology.
