Hiya. Sorry I don’t know your name.
I would say you have a female there but there looks to be something else going on for example a prolapse, trying to pass a calcified egg or even a stone.
I would take it to a good reptile vet that is qualified to treat tortoises and get them to have a look at what is going on with the tail. If you don’t have a good vet then if you let us know the area you live we will look and see if we can find a recommended one local to you.

It's gone back to normal, that happened when I give her a bath earlier.

Would you be able to post a photo with the tail in its normal state.

I can’t see it now, so hopefully it is.
