Abbie Chatfield, a familiar face from The Bachelor, has recently sparked a conversation among her fans by urging caution in the use of the term ‘females’. In a recent episode of her podcast, It’s A Lot, the 28-year-old reality star expressed her views, pointing out that the term can be offensive as it dehumanizes women and excludes transgender individuals.

Abbie likened the use of ‘females’ to a slur, equating it to words like ‘b**tch’ and highlighting its inherently sexist connotations. She further explained that the term feels transphobic because it categorizes individuals solely based on their gender identity. Instead, she suggested using the term ‘women’, which allows for more open debate and discussion about what it truly means to identify as female. By using ‘women’, there is room for a broader understanding of gender identity and expression.
