Tosh Raka is not a dragon, not in the normal sense, he is an Akaviri mantling of Akatosh, that was formed in a similar way as to how Martin became Akatosh at the end of Oblivion. Hence why Tosh Raka = Raka Tosh = Aka Tosh.

When you mantle something you take on its characteristics, including gender, which is why the Champion of Cyrodiil, no matter their race or gender, be they argonian, or female, transformed into the male breton we see in Skyrim, when he/she mantled Sheogorath in Shivering Isles.

Since Akatosh is male, well, technically he has no gender since he is just a spirit, there would only be male/genderless Dragons.
