"of the female persuasion" - is that a normal turn of phrase?

It makes it sound like gender is fluid (like "she convinced herself she's a girl and there's nothing to be done about it"), which I absolutely love, especially considering it's the mid 19th century...

They didn't have the phrase 'Big tiddy goth girls' back then.
