Originally created in 1997, the Homosaurus vocabulary is an international linked data vocabulary of LGBTQ terms that is currently maintained by the Homosaurus Editorial Board.
"As part of the v3.3 update, the term "Females" was redirected to this term, "Women," in order to better reflect the vocabulary's scope."
Adults who self-identify as women and understand their gender in terms of Western conceptions of womanness, femaleness, and/or femininity. The term has typically been defined as adult female humans, though not all women identify with the term "female" depending on the context in which it is used.
