For Abbie, the term “females” is not merely a neutral descriptor but carries with it a baggage of sexism and exclusion. Drawing parallels to derogatory slurs, she pointed out how it reduces individuals to mere biological categories, devoid of their humanity and individuality. This reductionism, she argued, not only undermines women’s autonomy but also erases the experiences and identities of transgender people, further perpetuating harmful stereotypes and marginalization.
What seemed to particularly irk Abbie was the implication inherent in the term “females” – that women are somehow lesser beings, dependent on men for their existence and purpose. By framing women in this light, she contended, the term reinforces outdated gender norms and perpetuates harmful stereotypes about women’s roles in society.
Abbie further delved into the historical and societal connotations of the term, suggesting that its usage reflects and perpetuates systemic inequalities and patriarchal structures. By framing women as passive recipients of male protection and provision, the term “females” not only diminishes their agency but also contributes to the normalization of gender-based violence and discrimination.
