Welcome to All Things Plants, T @Tomcikustoniomcikus !

I agree with what Greene said, but fortunately the plants aren't either male or female... they have both types of flowers on the same plant. Usually the male flowers will open first, then some female ones will start -- which can be identified by the small pumpkin/squash/zucchini just below the flower.

Here's a photo of an interesting double golden zucchini that I had last year, showing the unopened flowers on the end...
