Naw, he's quite androgynous. Could be either. The photo also has an odd perspective and some blurring, which gives him sort of a porcelain-doll effect--surreal and somewhat uncanny-valley.

I kind of like looking at androgynous people. I think they're interesting and pretty.


But he is specifically male. He has been given a gender.

You perceive the uncanny valley effect?

I should just start a thread about this at some point.
Yup, I do, to some extent. Not, apparently, as much as some people do--it doesn't make me feel uneasy so much as make me think that the image looks odd in an unplaceable way, like a drawing you can't get quite right.
