I am not a native English speaker and I have sometimes referred to people as male and female (as that is what I have been taught) but I have received some backlash in some cases, especially for the word "female", is there some negative thought in the word which I am unaware of?

I don't know if this is the best place to ask, if it's not appropriate I have no problem to delete it ^^

Maybe that's how you animals in your "galactic community" operate, but be careful... a lot of people in these parts eat animals for breakfast. For your own self preservation you might want to come up with some reasons why you're more than just an animal before we get to barbecue season.

Alright. Time to change living conditions to 'livestock'. I think some of you do it in your space simulator games. /S
