Thereā€™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.

    Doesnā€™t matter, as you elaborated more deeply on why das MƤdchen has neuter gender.

    BTW: The use of (das) FrƤulein (miss), again a diminutive; ā€˜little womanā€™, in German, to refer to an unmarried woman has come out of fashion since ~50 years and now may be perceived as insulting as well.
    MƤdchen is no longer perceived as a diminutive of Maid or Magd, as both terms are more used in a historic context, and thus, it stands on its own.
