Burnyoureyes@lemmy.world 1 year agoYou’re misunderstanding a little here. The issue is not with using ‘female’, the issue is with using it as a noun. ‘Female athlete’ is fine. ‘The female’ is not.

Can someone please look up these words in a dictionary?
Part of speech is not the issue. The issue is referring to a human as their sex in a sexual context.
If you think a doctor saying, “the patient is a female” is in any sense incorrect or rude, you’re wrong, and I don’t believe that you don’t already know that.
