Also interesting because in German progressive/queer femeist groups use the term

“Weiblich gelesen” (literal: read female, meaning: assumed to be female)

If we want to refer to someone who looks like a women by conservative standards but about whom we don’t know if they actually identify as a women.

“Weib” (degrading term for women derived from the word “weiblich” (female)) on the other hand is considered very rude and only used by conservative/sexist people.

Just find it interesting which words are differently connotated in which language.
