playing nice is 1 thing ...however insults are just uncalled for... that I would think is a given !!!!!
Thats my vote as i'm trying to present myself as female when i dress i much rather like the proper spelling of the word. I don't mush care for the other spelling it looks fake and as with all made up spelling of words they're all fake to me. Girl is a real word found in a dictionary so i'm into real words not fakes.
:love:

Girl.
There is no need to make up another term to continue to further quash the language. Gurl is about the same as replacing S's with Z's, Wut for What, Sup for "whats up" and the list goes on and on.
[SIZE="3"]The term gurl is alot like panties made for men! yuck! I prefer women's clothes and being a GIRL!

Girl , that is the way i fell :heehee: :heehee:
Given these choices, I prefer "girl." My real preference is woman. I'm neither a girl nor a woman, but I present myself as a female. At my age, "woman" seems more appropriate than "girl." I don't like "gurl" because it detracts--in my own mind--from what I'm trying to present.
Put me down in the Girl colum........

Duhhhhh,, uh.... gurl!!
Never cared for titles really. Salandra defines me just fine.:happy:
Wikipedia
GIRL
A girl is a female child,as opposed to a boy, a male child. The age at which a female person transitions from girl to woman varies in different societies; typically the transition from adolescence to maturity is taken to occur in the late teens.
The English word (first documented in 1290) originally designated a child of either sex. To designate between the two genders, a female child was called a gay girl, while a male child was called a knave girl. During the 14th century its sense was narrowed to specifically female children. Subsequently, it was extended to refer also to mature but unmarried young women since the 1530s. Usage in the sense of (romantic) "sweetheart" arose in the 17th century.
Historically, girls faced discrimination and limitations on the roles they were expected to play in their societies, and the United Nations targeted discrimination in schooling to end by 2010. An ongoing debate about the influences of nature versus nurture in shaping the behavior of girls and boys raises questions about whether the roles played by girls are the result of inborn differences or socialization. Images of girls in art, literature, and popular culture often demonstrate assumptions about gender roles.
I must be really lost...I say Girly gurl.. Oops now I don't even fit in here.. Shucks. :sad:
GIRL!!!:thumbsup:
I have always prefered GIRL :happy:
Definitely girl. Just because I'm a boy during the day and at work doesn't make me any less of a girl to need a different title. :doll:
'Girl'. Just don't feel any other way. I just don't think of myself as a male anymore.
