> Language naturally evolves. All languages do and have. The fact that our language continues to evolve is unremarkable - that's not "redefining" anything. Language evolves, this is true. It is a slow and uncoordinated process which usually starts in a specific geographical location after which the changed words spread. This is not what is happening here. The type of intentional and coordinated redefinitions of terms is not language evolution but language revolution - or revolutionary language, viz. Merriam Webster's recent redefinition of terms like 'female' [1], 'sexual preference' [2], 'anti-vaxxer' [3] and more. [1] 'female' now includes the term 'having a gender identity that is the opposite of male' in a bid to appease transgender activists to allow them to answer the question 'what is a woman' with 'an adult human female' [2] during the hearings for Supreme Court justice Amy Coney Barrett she (Barrett) used the term 'sexual preference' upon which the dictionary quickly modified the definition of the word 'preference' to include a claim that 'The term preference as used to refer to sexual orientation is widely considered offensive in its implied suggestion that a person can choose who they are sexually or romantically attracted to' [3] this term was amended during the COVID vaccine mandate discussion by adding the claim that anyone who opposed vaccine mandates is an anti-vaxxer
