The same way you tell the gender on Argentines. Post a pic and we can tell you for sure.
Males have big jowls (cheeks) and bumps on either side of the vent. Females have a streamline head and no bumps.

Pics would help :) but like previously stated also look for jowls and what looks and feels like little buttons or pimples under the vent,.. one on each side. Depending on how big or thick their tail is you can see them from the side. With out having to pick them up or turn him over.
Here's a few pics for a visual
