It’s literally language. If you use it as an adjective, it is literally how it’s meant to be used:

“A female coworker” ✅

“A co-worker who is a woman” ✅

“A woman coworker” ⛔

“A co-worker who is a female” ⛔

You’re just a misandrist masquerading as a feminist.

Edit: imagine being so much of a worthless misandrist that you downvote THE CORRECT USAGE OF LANGUAGE.
