Female

Female is a term referring to biological sex rather than gender. The biological use of this term describes an organism that produces ovum, is typically born with a reproductive system that includes a vulva, vagina, ovaries, and a womb. The sex you are assigned at birth is based on this anatomy. It can also be confirmed by genetic testing. In modern usage, especially in online or social spaces like FetLife, female may also refer to gender identity or presentation. It is sometimes used interchangeably with “feminine,” “girl,” or “woman.” On FetLife, “female” can refer to anyone who identifies as such, regardless of their biological or medical history. It is often abbreviated as F.
