    When people use the word females like that though it makes a lot of us feel like we're being talked about like some form of game or as if we're another species altogether. Can't you understand that it's really, really off putting?
    And the same thing will happen with those other words when people are looking for a new reason to be offended and so people will struggle to come with up new words to use that aren't supposed to be offensive but eventually will be.

    I'm female. I fit the definition for the word. It's been the answer to many questions asked over my relatively long lifetime. I'm not offended because the word wasn't being used to offend. It was being used to describe.

    And yet you still need to be offended even though he referred to himself as male.

    I'd far rather be called "female" than "girl". I left being a "girl" behind before most of you were born.

    I'd also rather be called "female" than "woman". Did you know that "woman" has frequently been used in a derogatory fashion over the years? "Woman, go get my sandwich and beer!" was something frequently heard back in the 70s and 80s, used to treat us as if we were servants.

    Stop looking for reasons to get offended by word choice in ordinary conversation.
