Yes, 儿女 (ér nǚ) is gender specific. It specifically refers to both sons and daughters, or children in general. The character 儿 (ér) means "child" and 女 (nǚ) means "female", so together they mean "children of both genders".
In Chinese culture, there is a strong emphasis on the importance of having both sons and daughters, as they are seen as essential for continuing the family line and providing support for parents in old age. Therefore, the term 儿女 (ér nǚ) is often used to refer to a family's children as a whole, regardless of their gender.
Other Chinese words that are gender specific include 儿子 (ér zi) for son and 女儿 (nǚ ér) for daughter. These words specifically refer to a male or female child, respectively.
Example: 她的儿女都很孝顺，经常给她打电话。(Tā de ér nǚ dōu hěn xiào shùn, jīng cháng gěi tā dǎ diàn huà.) - Her children are all very filial, they often call her.
