Gender identification.

Since "Woman", "women" and "female" are stigmatized and oppressive terms I've come up with my own gender identifier for the 2 cis genders/sex terms based on the yin and yang belief system. The yin and yang I'm using for the root of this concept is the polarity ideology not duality where opposites attract.

female > luna (luna = moon)
male > sol (solar = sun)

Latin terms and the reason for this is because in yin and yang, yin represents feminine energy which encompasses the moon, calmness, water and darkness/night. Where as yang represents masculine energy encompassing the sun, chaos, fire and light/day.

And instead of woman/women and man/men we could simply just use guys/gents and gals/ladies.
