Not at all. I don't know where you got the impression that one applied to females, and the other applied to males. That's simply not the case.
Debutant: "A person who makes his <b>(or her)</b> first appearance before the public."

Of course, if you can find something that says otherwise, other than the way you use personally see fit to use the word, then i'll eat as much crow as you can throw at me.
