I think this is a male, based on behavior. It was out once a month before, and only ever for a few minutes. Then it molted (destroyed the molt) and since then its out and about all day, roaming, climbing, not shy at all anymore.
Male, for shure, I would venture to even say a mature male, for the lenght of the seate in the legs and because I almost sure that there are bulbs in the pedipalps
 
Yeah, the tips of the pedipalps are bigger, I was thinking it was the boxing gloves. Shame though, I don't have a female for it.
 
It is never 100% right. Always sex the molt too. I have seen T’S that I thought were male but were later sexed female. I also would say male though.
 
@MrGhostMantis When a male matures, the ends of his pedipalps change to form palpal bulbs/emboli - the male sex organs. When they form, the ends of the pedipalps lose their normal look and take on a club-like shape, with the emboli tucked back and out of harms way. You can just spy the shininess of one of the bulbs on the palp to the left.

Below is a clear image of emboli, though in a different species. MM Psalmos are very fluffy and can hide their emboli in the floof.
