It's fine if it's consistent imo.

Men and women - πŸ‘

Males and females - πŸ‘

Boys and girls - πŸ‘

Guys and gals - πŸ‘

Men and females - πŸ‘Ž

Men and girls - πŸ‘Ž

Men and chicks - πŸ‘Ž

The ONLY time it’s fine is if it’s in a medical report or scientific paper. Written by actual doctors or scientists. And it is done to dehumanize the subject to make it easier for, say, a medical examiner to write a report without breaking down.

Using male and female for people is inheritantly dehumanizing, and that’s only ok in very specific circumstances.
