Except gynoid is defined as "anything that resembles or pertains to the female human form" (had to look it up). In more modern times, the term is sometimes used to define female robots, but it isn't limited to just female robots. An android on the other hand is just a robot with a human appearance, so gender isn't really a factor. In this way, Android is a better fit for race as male or female has nothing to do with a person's race. Ruby is a girl, but her race isn't female; that is her gender.
