    Not fair to the military veterans.

    They got “That’s not a woman, it’s a female soldier” drilled into them.

      “Female” is fine as an adjective. It’s when it’s used as a noun that it becomes a problem. But that’s not a new rule or anything.

      Consider when someone says “Black people” vs “the Blacks”.
