I think I missed how the kids figured out El was a girl. I thought she was a boy until they referred to her as a female.

Up close and in person, you can usually tell. Male and female skull structure have significant differences that most people will pick up on, even if they're not sure what they're looking for. One of the strongest indicators is that an average male skull has a more prominent eyebrow ridge than a female skull.

pre puberty that's true as male and female bodies are almost identical, including bone density, breast tissue and testosterone levels.
But by 9 or 10 the difference becomes more than social identifiers (clothes, hair and so on) because body shapes change.
