  Exactly this. People often use “female” because it’s a dehumanizing word.

    How is it dehumanizing? Most humans are female.

      As someone else in the thread mentioned, it is depersonalizing. The word female is used mainly in medical, scientific, or legal contexts. It sounds jarring when used outside of that, even when technically correct.

    I think it’s because they don’t want to day girl but they’re intimidated by women
