Actually, "f.*****" as a noun is a now outdated term for the bundles of wood used in the mideval era to burn accused witches, homosexuals and so forth at the stake.
Word derived from:
Middle English *****, from Middle French
Now it is usually used to describe a male homosexual, as Merriam-Webster OnLine says.

So the answer to your question would be: Most likely not.

No one can be a *****. A ***** is a bundle of sticks.

Please note: In trying to proof this, Yahoo, in their moronically Politically Correct frame of mind, seems to think proper spelling of a term used to designate a bundle of wrapped sticks will poison your mind. Therefore, I have substituted an "*" for the letter "a" in the tern commonly used to denote a male of a homosexual nature.
In addition to the actual term "f*ggot", which is a bundle of sticks used in the burning of witches, the term is a cultural one.
In Australia and New Zealand, cigarettes were commonly called "fags"; a schoolmate of mine (who had just come to the States from New Zealand) raised some eyebrows when he mentioned between classes that he really needed to "suck on a f*g". Now, we all stopped and asked him to repeat himself (We were in 7th grade; and smoking was fairly common at that age--mid 1970's); he repeated himself, and asked us what was wrong when he saw the looks on our faces. He continued..."You know...a 'f*g'--a cigarette." Well, we all started laughing our homophobic little asses off, before explaining to him what we THOUGHT he was saying.
But anyway, in addition to your poor spelling, unless a girl is carved out of a tree, no it's not physically possible for her to be a "f*ggot".
I do hope you enjoyed the lesson in culture and language.
