    That’s because it’s an adjective. It’s like saying “I was talking to a black.” It’s icky and devalues people.

    Ever notice how the same people the say “female” don’t also say “male”?

    (Yes, I know female can be a noun, but in those cases, it’s typically in relation to live stock or in science.)
