'''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]] men. Some [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] individuals may have a partial connection to being a woman/girl or feminity, in which case they may identify as a non-binary female, woman-aligned and/or fiaspec.'''▼

'''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.'''▼
