How @MerriamWebster created a glitch in the matrix.
A THREAD.
Merriam Webster have decided this is their definition of
"๐ฉ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ"
: ๐ข ๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐ด๐จ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ : ๐ข ๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฐ ๐ธ๐ข๐ด ๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ง๐ช๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ข๐ด ๐ข๐๐ก๐ ๐ข๐ต ๐ฃ๐ช๐ณ๐ต๐ฉ
OK.

But what, I wonder, do MW mean by ๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ and by ๐ข๐๐ก๐?
Let's see.
Let's see.
First here's the definition of ๐ข๐๐ก๐:
: ๐ข ๐ข๐๐ก๐ ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฏ : ๐ข ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ข ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐บ
Obviously this is circular. It's more of a naming protocol for our own species, than a definition. And also it's in the wrong place, since the primary definition belongs at the top.

The primary definition of male (applies not just to our species) is this one. (b)
About ๐จ๐๐ญ, ๐๐๐ข๐๐ฉ๐๐จ and ๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ข.
The primary definition of male (applies not just to our species) is this one. (b)
About ๐จ๐๐ญ, ๐๐๐ข๐๐ฉ๐๐จ and ๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ข.
So, to elucidate their definition of "๐ฉ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ", we can drop the full definition of male in place.
The definition then becomes this

Ok.
But what the heck do they mean by ๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ?
They define ๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ as this:

Seems fine. Do they define what they mean by ๐๐๐ข๐๐ก๐?
Yes. Yes they do.

In short, Merriam Webster are trying to tell us that a "๐ฉ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ" is literally the sex that makes eggs whilst being of the sex that makes sperm.

And that's what happens when you tell a little white lie and haven't the balls to extrapolate it all the way to it's logical conclusion.
You're stuck with a visibly outrageous whopper.

To make the impossible possible, or as Merriam Webster have done here, tried to make sperm producers (men) be 'recognised' as egg producers (women), I'm afraid you can't just shoehorn a single new definition in and hope people don't notice it doesn't fit.
Oho no.
Oho no.
No, to make the impossible possible, you have to redefine EVERYTHING so it all slots together again.
That means sex/woman/man/female/male/egg/sperm/gametes/reproduction.
They ALL have to be changed, or deleted.
Because otherwise there will always be a glitch in the matrix.

Or, and this is my personal preference, we just stick to the truth in the first place.
Just a thought.
