    This whole thread was awesome. Thanks, feddies! Sincerely, a real female (way too old to call myself a girl, but in threads like this, I feel like one!)

      All the females I meet offline call themselves female as well, that’s how I know this one is real.

        Hah! In another thread, I caught dune flack for saying “female.” Thanks.

          Honestly, I don’t totally get it, but I see a lot of people on Lemmy really latching onto it. So I’m just playing to the audience.

      It’s never too late to not be a grown up

        Thanks! I guess if I’m honest, I’m old, but my mind kind of flip-flops on whether it is old, so I usually opt for “female” when not assuming age (mine or anyone else’s. Some women get nasty when you use a term that isn’t their preferred category–and in my area, have the nerve to be offended when someone has preferred pronouns!).

        Tldr I’m a kid at heart.
