Normally "female" is more used in clinical settings or about not-human animals. One reason it gives off incel energy is it reduces a person to what genitals they have.

I know this is increasingly accepted, but …

To be fair, in English most adjectives can also be used as nouns. I suppose I should have said that in this context, using it as an adjective is inappropriate.
