Actually no because it is a visual description so they ARE actually noting the gender of the suspect, NOT the sex.

So it should technically be the other way around. They could say "man" or "woman" based on presentation, they actually do NOT know if the suspect is male or female. Unless they're naked. But then I suspect "they're running down the street naked" probably serves as a good enough description.
