Is Buddha male or female

Answer:
The buddha statue is a male.

~Gautama Siddhartha... otherwise known as The Buddha... was a male prince who left his riches, wife and child to wander the Earth teaching.

Answer:

"A Buddha" as opposed to "The Buddha" is an enlightened person. An enlightened person can be either a male or a female.

Answer:

There are Buddhist statues of females. Quan Yin is considered one of the highest deities. So when you see a statue of "The Buddha" it may or may not actually be The Buddha, but could be a Buddhist statue of a deity.

"Buddha [one of true wisdom]: Buddha is a title bestowed on an enlightened master. The Buddha in the present cycle is Siddhartha Gautama (563 BC) who was born in a small kingdom in present day Nepal. After a renunciation of his kingdom and a long period of asceticism, he became enlightened and began teaching. His sermons form the school of philosophy called Buddhism"

Two kinds of buddhas are distinguished: the pratyeka-buddha, who is completely enlight ened but does not expound the teaching; and the samyak-sambuddha, who expounds for the wel fare of all beings the teaching that he has discovered anew. A samyak-sambuddha is omniscient (sarvajnata) and possesses the ten powers of a buddha (dashabala) and the four certainties. The buddha of our age is Shakyamuni.
