I’m not an expert but it looks like it has a hemipenile bulge so maybe male? Let me get someone to help you, @Beman , @MissSkittles , @kinyonga
Maybe this will help...

Listen to Kinyonga, she’s way more knowledgeable than me!
You give me too much credit. I still have so much more to learn.

I just started here a month ago so I have a lot to learn!
I started keeping chameleons in the mid 80's..,the dark ages for chameleon keeping....no cages that were suitable...crappy UVB lights...awful supplements...etc. It was a steep curve. Unfortunately some suffered from my lack of knowledge....but I got quite a bit right by accident and reasoning.

I kept a couple Jackson’s back in the mid 90s. There were no reptile vets here and very little info and they did suffer from my lack of knowledge. Neither survived. I did the best I could and it broke my heart and I swore I’d never have another but here I am, only because my Jackson’s was sitting in dirt in a petco aquarium when I saw him! I had to save him!!
First vet I had wouldn't even touch the lizard....couldn't tell if it was a male or female. Second vet said he had to consult with another vet and would get back to me...he never did. Third vet had only ever treated 2 chameleons before mine but had a real interest in the chameleons and we learned together. It was a long reptile relationship! Was always so glad that someone led me to that vet.

That enclosure is gorgeous!!
I agree with it being a female. Tail base is thin and the bulge is above it not below it. http://www.muchadoaboutchameleons.com/2013/04/male-or-female-how-to-sex-baby-panther.html
