Male Or Female???

That is a preflower. There is a branch coming out right next to it. Either way it's too small to really tell. Give it another week and you should be able to tell.

Most likely male. At that stage it also looks a lot like a female flower but usually when they're that asymmetrical leaning one way with the more sharp angular ridge on the side it's a male. My advice would be to keep watching it until you're absolutely certain. That gives you a chance to see how it developes.

Male and female preflowers both have a few different possible early appearances. Some are pretty similar to each other and others are completely different. It takes at least a few rounds with a decent number of seeds to have them all enough to be able to id them at the early stage of the first preflowers.
