How did the guy at the diner and the boys know she was a girl??
That was my first question, too. A lot of the posters here are claiming that it's obvious but I couldn't have picked that up myself just from Eleven's facial features.
I suppose girls have different body language than boys. May be the way Benny figured it out was that if it had been a delinquent boy, he would have reacted differently to being forcefully restrained by Benny. May be he would have struggled more or tried to bite.
Eleven just looked scared and didn't put up a fight, which is a more "feminine" response. That probably led Benny to realise the truth. -

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.
