Look at the under side of the back legs. Beardies have something known as femoral pores along the undersides of the legs (easy to remember if associated with the femoral artery and femur) On males these pores will be very obvious and large, on females they will be much smaller.

even if you have a M-F pairing, or 2 females, the chances are very good that they will fight. alternatively, the dominant lizard will intimidate the other so much that they'll be competing for food, basking spots, etc. and the lesser lizard may not eat enough or stay healthy. I know it's possible and that some people are lucky enough to have beardies that can co-habitate, but it's really not a good idea no matter what sex they are.

Yeah no matter what the sex beardies will try to dominate each other even male female pairs if they don't fight often the male will constantly try to breed the female and beardie sex aint pretty they bite, throw, pin , claw and everything else and you'll wind up with a pretty ugly if not eventually dead female unless she turns out to be the more dominate dragon.
