In French, the literal translation of female and male, are only used for animals in the common language, but I have been taught that in English it is ok to use those for humans in common language. Is it not the case in your region?
I don't really see a problem with saying things like "my female friends" or "my female colleagues", when it's used as an adjective.
No one claimed it is, when used as an adjective :)
