To the best of what I've seen and heard, "female" is considered an appropriate way to refer to trans*men as well as ciswomen. Because it's sex, not gender. It's words like "women" "woman" and "lady" to refer to the sex and not the gender that are considere

That last bit is true, but my saying simply ‘anti-female’ does unnecessarily exclude people still potentially affected by Akin’s horseshit. I think the poster was perfectly fair.



Edited to say that the people adding comments to this post just reinforce what the poster said.  I should have used more inclusive language. My mistake, no excuses.
