Ive got a term (get_term_by) but now I want to filter it by a category it is in?

Use WP_Query with Taxonomy Parameters. If you want posts that are in both categories, just add two conditions in tax_query (using an array for terms will get you posts that have at least one of those categories).
Note that you’ll have to adapt the taxonomy to your needs. Instead of slug, you could also use term_id, term_taxonomy_id or name as the field to be searched.

$query = new WP_Query(
    array(
        'tax_query' => array(
            array(
                'taxonomy' => 'mytaxonomy',
                'field' => 'slug',
                'terms' => "females"
            ),
            array(
                'taxonomy' => 'mytaxonomy',
                'field' => 'slug',
                'terms' => "sport-fitness"
            ),
        ),
    )
);
