In general, I prefer “women”. If it’s a far view discussion, then “females” is ok with me as long as it’s paralleled by “males”.
I don’t like “girls” being used to refer to adult women.
I use the singular “they”. I don’t mind invented pronouns. I get annoyed at male pronouns used to refer to people in general and still get startled at female pronouns used to refer to people in general.
