As an adjective, i.e. female athlete, sure it ain’t.
As a noun, I.e. that female, that’s weird and normally associated with incels and sexism.
It’s not like there aren’t other words to use. If woman and lady are just too normal for you, even lass, bird, girl, or gal would be less weird to say.
I ain’t gonna tell you to touch grass, I’m gonna tell you to chat to some women and see where calling them females gets you.
