Man and male are different words; one is a species and the other a sex, from mas, equivalent to wapman in English. Then there's wer/vir a gender. Female refers to femina, a gender, counterpart to vir, one who suckles rather than one who hunts. You mean a mulier.

And everyone is a child but one isn't a they.
