How to check if a custom post is in a specific taxonomy?

I want to check if there is at least one female in the custom post and if there is one I want to set the condition to true: $has_one_female = true;

But it never enters in this if:

    foreach($team_members as $team_member) {

    if(has_category( 'female', $team_member)) {

        $has_one_female = true;
        break;
    }
}

See complete code below:

$args = array( 
    'orderby' => 'rand',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'post_type' => 'team', 
    'posts_per_page' => 6,
    'tax_query' => array(
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'category-team',
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => array('team', 'female') 
        )
    )
);
$query = new WP_Query($args);
$team_members = array();
$has_one_female = false;

if($query->have_posts()) {
    $team_members = $query->posts;
    print_r($query);
    $has_one_female = false;
    foreach($team_members as $team_member) {
    
        if(has_category( 'female', $team_member)) {
          
            $has_one_female = true;
            break;
        }
    }
}

Would in_category() suffice?

So you would then do something like:

if (in_category('female')) {
}

you could also check an array like:

if (in_category( ['female', 'other'] )) {}

If you would need to check based on a custom taxonomy I think you would be able to use this as well:

if (has_term('female', 'gender_taxonomy_name')) {}

There's a difference in checking categories or taxonomies:

Check post for category — use in_category() Check post for tax term — use has_term()
