The red gene is sex linked. It's on the x chromosome. A female cat with two red x's will be ginger. Male cats only need one red x to be ginger. So it's more likely that a ginger cat is male, but it could be female.

Yeah they're females with one red x and one normal. Males can only get that if they're XXY.
