I am allmost entirely convinced that I am female. I certainly don't currently identify in any way as male at this point.
I detest 'girl' from random strangers, on the other hand I like being called a 'good girl' by people I am sleeping with. I'm not really a 'lady' allthough I'm OK with 'ladies and gentlemen' and also with parents who say such things as 'thank the nice lady' to their small children if I've just (say) held the door open for the child. 'Woman' doesn't seem to be something you call people, but it is probably what I most identify with.
Non-living pet things would be pet things, I imagine. I was thinking of pto452 there really, and davethedog in the pet animals case. Pet plants with livejournals can pretend to be pet animals and explain in a comment.
Equally, to be honest I'm really a human, but I think one should bear in mind livejournals with bacterial, planty, prot (https://www.dreamwidth.org/users/dictyostelium/)ozoan (https://www.dreamwidth.org/users/amoebic_vodka/), (or whatever) slants.
I think it likely that under many definitions I would prefer my species has more than two sexes (though aren't sure what would be good definitions), but although I don't think any of those *do* fit, and *do* think we have more than two sexes, interpreted 'because' literally so didn't check that box :)

In most circumstances I would prefer 'person'.

Also, if I had the chance to try being a man, with no pain or permanent side effects, would I give it a go? Hell, yes!
