I have actually noticed this becoming more common. “Females” is what you refer to as strictly cis-females, where as women generally means a mix of transgendered and cis-females. So if a man’s dating profile says “females only”, you know what he’s talking about.

like omg that's so ableist!

What if I were a trans-woman and wanted to be called female??

This horrible trans-normative oppression needs to stop!

I am going to go protest at a starbucks.
