My take on the gender of figures is...the rightside figure looks male. The figure at the back looks like it has a cleft and breasts in other shots. So I think it's alternating men and women. The figure in the foreground has a tiny waist with roundish hips (female). What do you think?

They could be alternating male and female, though all figures - both male and female - have narrow waists and wide hips / ample butts in Minoan art. In color art, the skin color tells us the figure's gender. I have no information about any possible paint residues on this figurine, so that's not an avenue that can help us.

Fire applied in the right way is just what is needed right now, and justice goes without saying.
