    “Female” is generally okay when used as a adjective (as you did here). It’s when you’re using it as a noun when talking about humans that you start sounding like a fedora tipping Ferengi.

    You’re also probably covered because your advice boils down to “treat people like people”

      One time on here I used “female” in a biology discussion.

      “INCEL!”

      Language is getting weirder and weirder as I age. 🙄
