Lately, there has been a trend of people referring to women as “females.” I am not going to say that only men do it because that is not the case. I personally notice when all sexes do it, no matter how you are identified.  I don’t know who/what started it, and frankly I don’t care. I just want it to stop.

        The issue I have with being referred to as “female” is that it removes my humanity. It reduces me to what’s between my legs versus what’s between my ears. It makes me, who is just as human as any other identity, less than.  It makes no distinction between me and any other nonhuman animal on this planet. It turns me into a characteristic of (my more often than not) layered identity.

      You ever watch those animal documentaries that say things like “the female” or “the male?” Yeah, that’s what you sound like and last time I checked most of you are not scientists or narrating any animal documentaries. Listen, I’m not an animal in a jungle, lab experiment or a zoo. I live amongst the human race just like you. Why reduce me to my sex? Is that what I am to you? Just an animal?

Want  some more examples? Here’s a A SHIT LOAD.

If you believe women and men think differently that’s fine, but making that distinction because I have a vagina and you don’t, is not. I can’t help but consider the struggle we currently face in this country with women health rights and pay equality. I’m sure this is directly connected to the reduction in our humanity.  Don’t contribute to what is already enough people telling me what I should do (or not do) with my vagina. Definitely don’t refer to me by it.

    I’m guilty of this, and I forget what got me onto it. I think I was me identifying a group. I know it’s sounds obvious,...
