Re: "Female"

[personal profile] forgottenjester 2013-07-26 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
For me it depends on who's using it and why. If I say, "I'm female." I'm just announcing my sex... for whatever reason. Let's say I have one. If someone says, "That female" when referring to me I find it demeaning. In a way, I find it dehumanizing. There are lots of little details that can change the circumstance and tone, and therefore, how I receive it. I've had people call me it and I've been fine because in those particular situations it made sense. I've also had it been used dismissively in order to undermine whatever point or argument I was trying to make or establish. I was not okay with that because it dismissed my point not on its merits but on the fact I had a vagina. It made me "other".

But in all honesty, why do you care if someone doesn't like being called that? They don't like being called something so don't call them that. How difficult is it for you to not use a word for a couple people? I have a friend who doesn't like to be called by a certain nickname so do I use that nickname? No, because I'm not a dick. Most of the time. Well, I'm not a dick in this instance because I don't use it. I am a dick for completely different reasons.

So, how is this negatively affecting you? Like, really, why do you care?
