how is it dehumanizing?

"woman" refers to adult human females, while "female" can refer to any species that can produce offspring.

"Adult human female" is a terf coining designed to exclude transgender women from the category of women, I hope you didn't mean it that way.

Thank you for calling this out.

hex.ooo•103 days ago

No worries, and I didn't think you'd intended it in that fashion.

I woman is a female

awildacacia.bsky.social•103 days ago

I definitely did not- straight from the Google definition! Perhaps, there's a better, more inclusive definition that will fit better such as "and person who defines herself as a woman".

a female is a woman is a girl and is not and has never been a man

Is a human not a species that can produce offspring? how do we not fit into this category?

Dang. I had to scroll all the way down here to find out why it is problematic. I did first look it up myself. But I was still unclear. so thank you.

You bet- some women don't mind but it's just always felt icky to me and it doesn't feel like a coincidence to me that Joe Rogan type bros refer to women as females.

s1acker6.bsky.social•89 days ago

You can characterize "joe rogan type bros" but others cant say humans? what about someone who transitioned from not being a Joe Rogan Type Bro to someone who identifies as a Joe Rogan Type Bro?
