G.pulchra sling molt, M or F?

This is from my 1.5" G.pulchra. I'm a total beginner, I want to say female but I'm not certain.
If you can fit the tip of a tweezer or piece of paper right underneath that white flap between the book lungs (spermathecae), you have yourself a female. Does look female to me though.

If it’s a sling, you may have to wait until you have a juvenile or larger to be sure. I know it sucks but that’s a part of this hobby, patience.
 
I could fit the tip of my tweezers into the flap! I'll check again with the next molt to be sure. Thanks for the reply! I'm new to keeping T's and was just excited to try and sex one of my sling's molts. I have a crested gecko who I'm still not able to sex after 6 months so I'm used to having to wait :rofl:

i thought that fleshy structure was the uterus externus but from picture, i think it may just be detached and ripped. had the surface underneath be a dif color, my answer would be certain. also at 1.5” that’s a very developed and large ue relative to its size. curious for your future molts :)
@Theneil thoughts?
