You're just choosing to be outraged for the sake of drama. I'm sorry if one person in your past has called you a "female" offensively, but lets consider moving on from it.

It's just a word. It's not a slur.

The word "woman" is not any better, and even has its own issues with preconceptions. Every time you come across someone who is trying to be stereotypically traditional and enforce any idea of classic societal gender roles, they refer to themselves as a MAN or a WOMAN.

Because I generally interact with people who are uncomfortable being assigned traditional gender roles, it's more comfortable to think of them as their biological sex--male or female, so that I am not projecting gender stereotypes on them

Now why don't you chill out?

Oh fuck off. You know damn well it sounds like you think women are below you when you use "female" in all these contexts. Multiple people have told you you sound like a dick when saying "female". But you just won't accept it. Your comment history makes you sound completely insufferable...

Just accept and learn and stop trying to die on this hill because of your ridiculous ego.

Lmfao. Dude, calling me offended and telling me to chill out doesn't work anymore. Trolling has evolved.

I explained to you patiently where your mistake is, and you sent me a wall of text about why you should be allowed to refer to a whole group of people by a word they don't like.

Dude, I'm a furry. Most of my friends are gay, trans, or some form of LGBTQ+ or non-binary who do not conform to typical gender or societal stereotypes.

Stop being a piece of shit lmao

"This guy says the word female so he must not have any friends" -- This guy, apparently.

You're dumb.
