Speaking While Female
Yeah I agree the term female has this almost creepy de-humanizing sound to it.

In other languages such as French, female is applied exclusively to non-human animals.

Yes, but in French, scissors and chairs have genders as well. The French language experience of genders simply does not translate to English.
