'''Female, also known as woman, or girl is a gender which is part of the Western gender binary. It is often associated with feminity and a connection to girlhood or feminity (as defined in one's society). It includes both [[cisgender]], [[transgender]], [[genderqueer]], and [[Non-Binary|non-binary]]
'''Woman is a term used for adults, while girl is used for children and teenagers. Female can be used as an umbrella term for both women and girls, or is sometimes used as a synonym for woman, however "female" can also be used to denote [[Sex|sexual]] traits, and is typically not used in general conversation due to it being considered overly clinical/formal. "Woman" and "girl" are generally used when referring to gender as opposed to "female". "Female" is sometimes also used to exclude transfeminine people. The word [[wifgender]] was created to encompass all of the various words.'''
'''Individuals who are [[AFAB|assigned female at birth (AFAB)]] are often raised with the expectation that they will identify as women, although not all AFAB individuals are female and not all females are AFAB. Identifying as a woman is often associated with a feminine [[Gender Presentation|gender expression]] and gender role, however not all females are feminine-presenting, and neither all individuals who are feminine-presenting are actually women.'''
