That distinction is already there. As I understand it, there's a differentiation between "male" and "female" biological sex v. "man" and "woman" gender identities. Hence terms like AMAB/AFAB (assigned male/female at birth).

I'm not at all as well versed on it as I should be and I'm working to understand it better as time goes on, but the distinction was made using existing language to avoid overloading, and later generations already understand the distinction pretty intuitively.
