Female ≠ Woman/Girl ≠ Feminine.
Male ≠ Man/Boy ≠ Masculine.
You can be feminine without being a woman. You can be a woman without being female. You can be female without being feminine.
You can be masculine without being a man. You can be a man without being masculine. You can be male without being masculine.
(Symbol above is the 'does not equal' symbol.)
Coiners stop creating enforcing gender binaries please. I myself am a guy that is only sometimes a man or boy. (You can take a wild guess on how often I find terms that use the term guy over man/boy, masculine, or male.)
Coining terms that fit all categories is fine. The problem lies when naming something as 'girl' in the name and using it as a catch-all for being feminine or female too. Girl doesn't mean always being feminine or female. This is a problem the coining community has had for a long time.
Hell, I'm guilty of doing it in the past myself, especially coining personal terms. Though I always try to coin the feminine/woman/female (+nonbinary) equivalent eventually, if I'm posting something masc/man/male oriented. If I make it, it doesn't hurt me to make similar terms for those whose experiences I do not share.
Small rant, since I keep seeing posts about this sort of thing. I've always tried to be ahead of the game when it comes to coining. Is there a catch-all umbrella term for feminine, female, and woman/girl; or masculine, male, and man/boy?
Might go back and coin more specific sub-terms and umbrella terms to be even more specific and inclusive.
