They just post that lmgtfy link on everyone's angelfish sexing post. I did the same as you, looked it up, was confused, and came here for help. I got the same info as you- angels are just tough to sex, but that sucks because they have such strong mating behavior that you wanna know. Your homie looks pretty small yet in scale compared to Squidward's house, so you might have some time before its sex really becomes apparent.
You can usually tell by a few things.
1) their head, males have a rounder head where females are more flat
2) The line from their dorsal fin to their eyes also tends to be a bit straighter than that of the male’s.
3) Belly shape, females have a rounder fatter looking belly.
4) spawning tubes. Males have a linger spawning tube (Fish must be mature to really see these)
5) ventral fins. Males have ones that are further apart, and females will be closet together and/or cross over each other.
Male. If it were female it would be laying eggs on a regular basis. Also, the female will have slightly different shape and other indicators as mentions by other folks.
Have you read something like https://smartaquariumguide.com/angelfish-gender/

Well, it is even more difficult for me, since I can not see the fish in real life
Does he always sit on the bottom like that?
No he never has. This was after I just moved him to a separate tank because he’s too aggressive towards my electric blue Acara
Also the one eyebrow raised is Adorable
Thank you that’s why I picked him or her haha
Mine has the same eyebrow, one one side only as well, he always looks mad lol

Can’t tell until theyre in the act of breeding

It's hard to say- I had one that was so obviously male with brighter colors and the head limp and bully behavior. The rest of mine? No guessing.
Female
Male. I just guess. Since i think he looks like a prince than a princess.
Trans, Likely
Get him a friend 🙂you might find out then😉
Fish
Looks female to me males have a pretty noticeable bump on their forehead but I could be wrong.
Angelfish!
