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 ^^

        You’re great at twisting words to suit your narrative.

        Literally said what the fuck is wrong with these people. And I concur.

        Went into this knowing exactly what I would be dealing with, a bunch of idiots who have never been told to shut the fuck up.
