Just stating my sex.  It may make a few people feel more comfortable.

If possible, I would like to edit the ad as the whole 3 bedroom house can be available if needed as well.  if not, I will just removed this one and replace it with a new one.

Thank you

Yes, you may add another post to this one - advertisers are permitted one thread.

Then assuming you're not a budgie, rabbit, polar bear etc, the word you're looking for is woman.

If I have somehow offended you by what I address myself as, I apologise.  I am merely offering a safe place for women to work from.

It's a good idea to avoid dehumanising language when addressing people who are routinely patronised, marginalised and generally treated like a different species for no reason other than the job we do. Move on, please.

You've just added to it three times - I don't understand what you're unsure about? Click on reply and make another post to update what you're offering and then click 'Post' on the bottom right, and it'll add on for everybody to see. :)

Sorry Amy but what is wrong with someone calling themselves a female? She obviously isn't a budgie, a cat or a giraffe so what's the problem. It's the way you say things sometimes. :)

Female can be any age,  woman being adult female.

I could however be wrong.

At least there's no mention of 'girls'  ::)

As above. 'Female' is an adjective not a noun and can refer to any species. 'Woman' is specific to human beings and doesn't reduce us to something from a nature documentary.

Also as above, move on pleaae. This is a room ad.
