And still be considered biologically female.
Gender as it is used today didn't exist till the 70s when the feminist movement wanted separate the idea of roles and sex.

That is, just because you are female, doesn't mean you fit into this role was the idea. A female by sex could adopt a male gender role for example.

The irony is that this idea today is if a man acts with the roles of a female or a females acts with the roles of a man, perhaps they are actually the other sex.

Sexologist John Money introduced the terminological distinction between biological sex and gender as a role in 1955. Before his work, it was uncommon to use the word gender to refer to anything but grammatical categories.[1][2] However, Money's meaning of the word did not become widespread until the 1970s, when feminist theory embraced the concept of a distinction between biological sex and the social construct of gender. Today, the distinction is followed in some contexts, especially the social sciences[4][5] and documents written by the World Health Organization (WHO).[3]

In oher contexts, including some areas of the social sciences, gender includes sex or replaces it.[1][2] For instance, in non-human animal research, gender is commonly used to refer to the biological sex of the animals.[2] This change in the meaning of gender can be traced to the 1980s. In 1993, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) started to use gender instead of sex.[6] Later, in 2011, the FDA reversed its position and began using sex as the biological classification and gender as "a person's self representation as male or female, or how that person is responded to by social institutions based on the individual's gender presentation."[7]
