Why would you expect that? 

Declaring <!ENTITY m "male"> in the stylesheet just means you can go &m;
in the body of the stylesheet and that will get expanded to male by the
XML parser as it oarsers the stylesheet. It has no effect at all on the
XSL system as that will not see this, all entities are expanded by the
XML parser.

If you want the ouput male go, for example

<xsl:template match='//person[@sex="m"]'>
 male
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match='//person[@sex="f"]'>
 female
</xsl:template>
