There is no concept of female language versus male language in English. Everyone uses whatever words they wish.

@fukutaka it is okay. there is no major difference between how a female or male talk in english, other than tone of voice.

in terms of grammatical structures there is no difference but there are certain word usages that may be more associated with women, such as using “girl” as an interjection, or terms like “slay” (many of these terms come from the dialect[s] aave but have entered mainstream usage by non black people). gay men (particularly more effeminate gay men) are also known to use these terms, so for a man to use them they may be considered more effeminate by some, but it’s not really a big deal. you’re allowed to speak how you want
