In Dwarf Fortress, gender is what determines if two creatures can produce offspring.

Determining Gender

When viewing a unit, a symbol appears below its name:

Gender Symbol Common names Other uses
Male Boar Bags
Female Sow Amulets

Additionally, when viewing a unit from the u menu or with v-z, the creature will be referred to as "he" or "she".

Raws

In the raws, genders are defined in separate castes (not to be confused with casts). Castes are often just defined as "male" or "female", but there are a few notable exceptions.
