他 is male while 她 is female (the radical 女 means woman). When referring to a mixed gender group the male form is used hence 他们. Technically 她们 can be used but it implies the group is all female.
Yeah it does but not really. In writing youre technically correct but not necessarily when speaking. The pronounciation for the male "they" (他) and the female "they" (她) [and the "it" (它) I think] is actually the same. The literal translation for "these girls are not students" is 这些女孩不是学生。
That "tā men" is for male third plural. The other "tā men" is for female third plural.

You can. Though , to me(lived in Taiwan for 9 years), "學生們" (in traditional Chinese) sounds like you're saying "fellow students",(with "fellow" connotation coming from 們) , and so it might be just a little friendly/informal. 11.21.2019
Sometime I use 马after student but this time It didn't accept it and turn it wrong

The version of this question that i got was They are not students, not These girls are not students, as some commenters have posted. Using the male form of Ta men was marked wrong. Reported 9/22/21.
What is the correct use of "ne men" and "ta men"? "the plural you" or "they". I understand the male and female group, but when they are referred to as "they" or "you all"????
