The males there is room for testicles. So as kittens there is a large space that develops. I guess its pretty easy to tell with males if they are fixed. For females I think its a little harder. The stomach sags a little when they are spayed and the vet might be able to feel to tell if they are intact or not.
Meeka was originally thought to be a male. Sometimes as kittens its really hard to tell. After a while if no testicles show then you know its a female which is what happened with Meeka otherwise the breeder would have kept my girl.
The best way to show the difference is probably a diagram vs. trying to explain it:

Thank you ... the "kids" I am going to check are adult... but I dont trust there parents saying the boys are fixed..
Well if they are boys then it should be super easy. You can't miss testicles in a whole male.
That is true, you can't mistake an adult male if he has or doesn't have testicles. The females you don't know unless they go into heat.
You can feel testicles in a male, and if he is over a year old you can tell by the smell of his urine.
