I dislike it. "Male man" and "female woman" is redundant. A "female adult human female"? "Cis" isn't real. Many people who aren't self identified "trans" still do not identify with gender stereotypes. We need to stop using these words that are lies. This isn't a compromise. It's accepting the QT view of everyone having an inherent gender identity and erases GNC (non trans) people. "masculine and feminine" are perfectly good words if you need an adjective for gender presentation and neither are inherently connected to being a man or woman.

Yes, I agree and your response mirrors all the GC responses. Like I mentioned elsewhere, I really should have asked QT directly... very few replies from them if any...

Allowing QT to use woman and man as gender words rather than sex words was the beginning of the end for sexed language. Now I see them even claiming male and female are gender words. It's never enough, and it will not do us any good to compromise/capitulate.

Thanks for your response!
