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 ^^

Making fun of someone for not knowing something, are we?
More like implying they do know, actually. It’s hard to imagine speaking english as well as they do and somehow not knowing this.
