Can't We All Just Get Along?

This is getting a little out of hand. Look. The original classical languages all had easy-to-distinguish terms for male, female, and both when intended in a general sense. It's only when the English, probably under the influence of the French (which explains all the inconvenient oddities of the English language anyway), settled on what words to use, they chose a word which can be meant both generally and specifically. Thus "man" can mean "male" or "human being."
Therefore, from this time forward, all reference on this discussion board to officials' crews who are either male or female or both male and female (that could open up a whole different thread) shall be as such:
"Two Human Being Crew", or
"Three Human Being Crew".
There. That ought to settle it.
After it catches on here it ought to show up in the Officials' Manual in a year or so.
