lots have been said about jumbo tosai but the sex and sense of development is more advanced and easier to distinquish.

some advanced males will have sandpapery gill plates or bumps on the leading ray of the pecs. The males tend to have a thicker bone on the leading edge of the pecs than females as well.

I do agree that females have a softer look to them.
