Or, only time, use it as a noun in a clinical/scientific sense when you literally are distinguishing “people who were born with ovaries”, IE “Females have higher estrogen levels” or something like that, when you are literally talking about the physical sex, and not gender.
idk I really don’t think it takes that much thought, we don’t need to be so sensitive to the nuance when it’s so easy to just not use language maliciously
It doesn’t require much thought, these are implicit rules you already should intuitively know if you have been participating in western culture for a few years.
You should be able to intuitively know that

“You are an asshole”
Clarifiers are much “softer” than nouns, as they are subjective instead of objective
You hopefully got some basic lessons on Facts vs Opinions in early grade school, it’s the same concept.
