I am not a native English speaker and I have sometimes referred to people as male and female (as that is what I have been taught) but I have received some backlash in some cases, especially for the word “female”, is there some negative thought in the word which I am unaware of?

I don’t know if this is the best place to ask, if it’s not appropriate I have no problem to delete it ^^

    It is.

    Okay, that’s your opinion, not mine. If opinions still exist, that is.

    Because you’re reducing people to their characteristics of identity.

    And having innate characteristics is horrible… unbelievable. I must be really old.

    It seems pretty easy to me, and I’m not even a native speaker.

    Ok, you’re right, you’re reeeally smart. Well done. I quit, have the last say.
