I don’t think “female” is offensive.
I thought it was offensive because some (supposedly female) users said it was offensive; but I didn’t understand why my female friends used the term (female).
I found another saying that it wasn’t offensive, and I immediate copied that belief.

doesn’t cancelled = face public backlash that typically come as a response to divisive, contrarian statements?
I don’t think so. I’d say cancelled is more akin to being blacklisted.
