I need help figuring out the gender of my tarantula because it just molted

I’ll add before and after pictures (the darker spider is after)

Watching this thread for pro responses because the same thing just happened to me with my rio grande gold tarantula.

Mine does have hooks!

Definitely male judging by the fact they have hooks and clubbed pedipalps!
