There’s definitely some additional nuance (like a pronouns in bio/username situation) but this should cover the broad needs of anyone who is approaching this with good faith.

    Sorry if you already know this, but it sounds from the wording of your post that you might not know that “maid” or “maiden” means virgin also.

      No need to be sorry. I didn’t realise, in Dutch I don’t think that connotation stuck for the equivalent, meid. That simply means girl.

      “my maiden aunt” means an aunt who never married (and it’s presumed to be virginal because what other option is there /s)

      So yeah
