Hey so a female horse is only a "mare" after it's given birth for the first time, before then it's a "filly" Same with a female pig (which goes from a "gilt" to a "sow"), or a "heifer" becoming a "cow" Do you make this distinction with humans? Why or why not https://twitter.com/BelleSanders_/status/1223043368986431488 …

I don't think it's OK to castrate humans unless there's a serious medical need like cancer. Call me old-fashioned. The world largely agreed, so the word fell out of use and feels weird and archaic now. (Also I think it suggests slavery). Point remains, we have a word.

But again, as we don't farm people, we don't need the word.
