Haha, that's so funny. My boy Banjo was a girl, Rose, for the first 4 months of his life. The person that gave him away thought he was a girl, Rose. Then when the vet did his first check up she missed it! (I've now changed vets). So Rose's testies dropped at about 4 months and she became Banjo. Depending on his age, you could find out by feeling him (this is how I realized he was a boy, while I was bathing him). And depending on whether you feel there's anything in between, I reckon your kitten might be a boy. 

This is Banjo (then called Rose) with his testies well dropped.

And this one is after the operation (he's sporting a brazilian on this one).

Looks like a male to me, too! Females will have two openings, one a 'slit'. Still, I've been wrong before, I gave two 'male' kittens to the neighbor and they turned out to be both female!

Lol this is confusing I mean even if we care for our kittens, we still don't know their gender ;)
Btw my kitten was sold to me as a male
I have realized that there are some sort of pimple-like things ,they are in pairs. To m these seems like nipples of a female kitten I don't know :s
Help me please

The spots are very small and are in pairs therefore I can't take any picture.

Male cats have nipples too ;). Just like humans.

For the kitten in the OP. . .I can't really tell. The opening looks too close to the anus to be a boy, but it's not really a slit either so I can't say for sure it's a girl. Fluffy kittens are always harder to tell. I think it will become more obvious in a couple of weeks.

What is a slit?
Are there any prominent things that distinguish male and female Persian kittens at the age of 2.5

I don't know if persians have anything different that would distinguish between male and female but basically, think of a slit like a longish line while a male cats parts normally look like a O. In my opinion, it looks more like a O so I would say male  for your little one but it is kinda close to the anus so I'm not complete confident in my opinion. lol It might be a good idea to just wait a bit, if its male I would assume the balls would drop or become more noticeable? Then the gender would be a more for sure thing..

A slit is an opening that is a line ___ not round.

OK, a male kitten's back end looks like this : the top dot is the anus and the bottom dot is the genital opening. A girl kitten's back end looks like this ! but upside down---the top dot is the anus and the bottom line is her genital opening. I can usually tell in real life but from pictures it can be hard, especially if they're fluffy.

Little boy kittens should have their testicles drop by 8-10 weeks but they're still small at that age. Usually it's pretty easy to tell by about 12 weeks old.
