Male/female

I think the silly argument here is that things are assigned genetilia on the basis of their functions.
Is there something special about genitalia? Should we deprecate technical terms like "head", "tail", "body", "ingest", "digest", "footer", "backbone", "sniff", "die", "kill", etc? They also reference body parts, actions, or functions. Are animals OK? "watchdog", "canary", etc.

You are missing the point. Terms such as plug - male are implicit of a deeply rooted system we use to reinforce unfair power structures. There's no need for classification in terms of binary, rigid and function based notions of gender. They are more harmful than you realize.

What? Assuming you're not a troll, you're going to need more than one tweet to explain how a simple, neutral, biological analogy (to biological sex, not gender!) somehow "reinforces unfair power structures" (unless you're talking about stealing electricity from your neighbor!).
