Yes but he's not looking for a woke word for "females", so "women" doesn't help.

feminine species
"people with vaginas" is one option ig. or if they also identify as women, cis women is another option
When did "people with vaginas" unironically become a way to refer to anyone, especially as an alternative to "female"?
People with vaginas is the right terminology if discussing something that pertains to vaginas. Eg. "People with vaginas should make sure to see a gynecologist regularly." in this case, saying "women" would exclude/misgender many trans and intersex people who have vaginas but are not women, while also including some women who do not have vaginas and would not need to see a gynecologist
The person you replied to said "female" though. As far as I know, "Man"/"Woman" is on the gender side while "Male"/"Female" is on the sex side, based purely on things like reproductive organs, chromosomes and hormones.
Although taking all three into account may just make it hard to determine. But it does imply that "male woman" and "female man" are also valid combinations.
“Male”/“Female” is on the sex side, based purely on things like reproductive organs, chromosomes and hormones.
Not really, I don't think. They're just the adjectives where woman/man are the nouns. If you talk about a male coworker I assume he's a man, not that you checked his birth certificate.
Male and Female are still normative exclusionary categories that describe trends within physiology and not hard rules or limits. Sex is not a golden rule. It is a human created category in the same way gender is.
If you want to talk about specific anatomy there is no reason why you can't talk about the anatomy you're referring to.
I would also point out that referring to trans women as male woman is very derogatory and is functionally the same as calling us heshes or shemales.

well sometimes u need to refer to ppl who have a vagina, because having a vagina is somehow relevant to the topic of conversation. which in my experience comes up very rarely, so i dont have to use it very often.
some people who have vaginas arent women, and so if the topic includes those ppl, then "people with vaginas" is the perfect phrase to use. and if talking about ppl with vaginas who all identify as women, cis women is more fitting.
"female" is a very vague way of referring to something. some ppl use it to describe gender identity, others use it to talk about ppl with vaginas, others again use it to refer to ppl with estrogen-dominant hormonal systems, etc. etc.

Casual erasure of post-op trans people is really fascinating to me. Like, how did our culture shift from the first thing people think about trans people being "have you had tHe sURgErY yet???" to "if you have a vagina and are a woman you are cis"?
Here I go once again with the email
Every week I hope that it's from a female
Oh :( Not from a female

What is the difference between "people with vaginas" and "people with vaginas of the feminine species"? And what is the "feminine species"? Is it some (unspecified?) species where every specimen is of the feminine gender?
He calls them the "female species" because the can't (won't) successfully breed with his own.
People with vaginas include some trans men. The idiot in OP is not totally wrong. People with vaginas are females. But what he means is (cis) women.
The way the OP phrases it rules out trans men who have vaginas, trans women who have vaginas, and a bunch of cis women who've had certain pelvic traumas or cancers and therefore don't have vaginas.
What he's trying to say is "if you were born with a vagina and you align with it" which is actually still funny because I was born with my vagina, I like my vagina, I'll be happily keeping it even after all my surgeries....but if this OP saw my face he would put me in the "trans man" bucket because they lack nuance around identity.

clearly ingenue is the correct choice
or for a potential fun comment thread: is dude gendered? I grew up in a place where a lot of people called everyone dude regardless of gender. That said, when I’ve brought this up, some people get real heated about it.
Hey dude, don't make it weird. Take a bad song and make it wetter.

Wo-men? Well, I've heard of men, but this sounds like a foreign language to me.
