Americans use it differently, and there it essentially means “I’m a lawyer”, for all genders.

Actually, it's very rare for a lawyer to refer to themselves using that title. They'll refer to other lawyers using it, not themselves. Using it in a signature line is pretty suspect, instead of just "Attory at law".
