I am not a native English speaker and I have sometimes referred to people as male and female (as that is what I have been taught) but I have received some backlash in some cases, especially for the word “female”, is there some negative thought in the word which I am unaware of?

I don’t know if this is the best place to ask, if it’s not appropriate I have no problem to delete it ^^

    I guess it would be kind of like referring to another person as “human”.

    "Hey who helped you with this?”

    “This human over here, my co-worker.”
