At 2.5" DLS this is likely male. Mine is around the same size and you can see the spermathecae with the naked eye or a regular magnifying glass - they're "Mickey Mouse-ear" shaped, and are starting to darken at the tips. The one pictured above also appears to have a dark patch of setae in the center, between the forward set of book lungs, which could be epiandrous fusillae. It would be worth double checking with a microscope or jeweler's loop, though - here's what the spermathecae on mine looked like when it was half this size (sorry, I don't have any current pics):

I'm a bit bummed that my Banana is likely male, but I had a feeling. Thank you so much for the good information on what to look for, that's really helpful for possible future Bananas haha!
That's a male. Oh boy, your the luckiest person in the USA. Breeders will do almost anything for a male as they are so rare to come by. You are literally more luckier than you think.
