If you have the standard Ventrata that dominates the mass production market of the variety, you can rest assured it is female. However, this clone is marginally fertile at best. I once got some viable seeds from it and one seedling resulted. Its barely worth the effort to pollinate, IMO.
 
I'm sure it has already bloomed & you already know the sex but fyi you can tell once bloomed & males have pollen.
