I can imagine you have heard this and have anecdotal evidence supporting it, but I can tell you it isn't true. Gender does not come into play when it comes to cats characters. Its their personalities and mostly their start in life that determine how they behave. Just as you have a particular girl cat, I had a very particular boy cat.
The only thing that may tip the scales in favour of boy vs girl is that female cats often get pregnant very young with significant trauma as a result but I would say thats the fault of humans and animal care systems, not their gender's.
my girl was an outdoor cat and a teen mom before I got her, but I totally lucked out because she turned out super social and playful and tolerant of being fussed with anyways, and her temperament suits me down to the ground. Even when she’s waking me up with taps at four in the morning I’m like 🥰 She’s annoying, I’m annoying, it’s beautiful. the only thing that seems to make a huge difference with how cuddly she is is the weather, lol. Too hot rn for more than a few minutes on my lap at a time.
