U.S. English native.
This ("a female") sounds just fine to me. My friends or I might talk this way amongst ourselves(and no, I'm not talking about an all-male, socially mal-adjusted circle of friends).
It's not what you'd call 100% standard mainstream English, but it's no so far outside the norm that I'd think twice about it either. While it's probably not how I'd teach a non-native to speak, I definitely wouldn't read anything into its use here, either.
Chalk it up to subculture, I suppose, as suggested earlier.
