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 …

Which is why, as I said, I'm good with "girl" and "woman".

So you're already altering the meaning of one word from the "biological" meaning to a social one (not first childbirth but legal age of majority)
