Expert Answer

A kitten’s sex shows from the external genitals and their distance from the anus. A male’s genital is a small dot far from the anus, about 2 cm, with space reserved for testicles, while a female’s is a small vertical slit closer, about 0.5 to 1 cm below.

But a young kitten’s genitals are undeveloped and not easy to see, and some shapes are unclear, so it takes skill. If unsure, wait until it is older or have a vet tell.
