Change "female identifying" to something less gross #70
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The term "female identifying" is really gross and in many trans peoples' view transphobic. A quick google has many links on this:

- https://everydayfeminism.com/2015/05/feminist-phrases-marginalize-trans-women/
- https://www.spotlight.com/news-and-advice/interviews-podcasts/transgender-non-binary-gender-non-conforming-lets-talk-about-it/
Describe the solution you'd like
Change the term to something more accurate and descriptive such as "women", "women and gender minorities", "women and trans and nonbinary people", etc.
Additional context
This seems like a great initative and I applaud the work just thought you should know this phrase is a huge red flag for many in the trans community.
