The prestigious Baltimore research university&#8217;s definition of a lesbian as &#8220;a non-man attracted to non-men&#8221; has been met with criticism and backlash from conservative commentators and gender ideology critics.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Man: no definition needed. <br \/>Non-man (formerly known as woman): <br \/>a being definable only by reference to the male.

The glossary was meant to serve only as an &#8220;introduction&#8221; to the range of LGBT identities, not &#8220;as the definitive answers as to how all people understand or use these terms,&#8221; the university said.<\/p>\n<h3>Criticism and Backlash<\/h3>\n<p>Conservative commentators and gender ideology critics were quick to point out the absurdity in this definition from one of the country&#8217;s most distinguished universities. &#8220;Lesbians are now officially squirrels,&#8221; The Daily Wire&#8217;s Ben Shapiro tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; author J.K Rowling, who has been an outspoken critic of gender ideology in recent years, also tweeted her criticism. &#8220;Man: no definition needed. Non-man (formerly known as woman): a being definable only by reference to the male. An absence, a vacuum where there&#8217;s no man-ness,&#8221; Rowling wrote in her tweet.<\/p>\n<p>Some critics on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/johns-hopkins-university-says-a-woman-is-a-non-man-in-new-glossary\/\" title=\"Johns Hopkins University calls a woman a \"non-man\" in new glossary.\">social media questioned<\/a> why &#8220;gay men&#8221; were still referred to as just &#8220;men.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Review and Explanation<\/h3>\n<p>Upon becoming aware of the language in question, the university has begun working to determine the origin and context of the glossary&#8217;s definitions. The entire glossary has been taken down, pending review. &#8220;Johns Hopkins strives to create a campus culture that is inclusive and welcoming for all gender identities, sexual orientations, experiences and viewpoints, and we are committed to ensuring Johns Hopkins is a place where LGBTQ people feel supported,&#8221; the university said in its statement.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, critics have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dr-jordan-peterson-lashes-out-at-canadas-commissars-after-board-threatens-his-medical-license\/\" title=\"Dr. Jordan Peterson Lashes Out At Canada\u2019s \u2018Commissars\u2019 After Board Threatens His Medical License\">accused transgender activists<\/a> of erasing women by defining female in reference to male and allowing men into women&#8217;s spaces. The definition was reportedly approved by Paula Neira, a trans-identifying man who is the Program Director of LGBTQ+ Equity and Education at Johns Hopkins.<\/p>\n<p>Neira is a former Navy officer who made history in 2015 when he became the first trans-identifying Navy veteran to have his discharge papers updated to show his new name. He is also an attorney and was instrumental in helping repeal the &#8220;Don&#8217;t Ask, Don&#8217;t Tell&#8221; policy, after which gay men and women were allowed to serve openly in the U.S. military. Neira also helped lead efforts to change regulations to allow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/walsh-in-secretly-recorded-footage-pro-trans-doctor-makes-truly-insane-argument-for-amputating-teen-girls-breasts\/\" title=\"WALSH: In Secretly Recorded Footage, Pro-Trans Doctor Makes Truly Insane Argument For Amputating Teen Girls\u2019 Breasts\">trans-identifying people<\/a> to serve openly, but former President Trump reversed that policy in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are still gendered uniforms, there are still gendered birthing spaces and showers,&#8221; Neira said in 2020. &#8220;That&#8217;s not going to change overnight. Some day, will we get there?
