You usually don't tell the listener if they're female or male unless you want to specify or the person knows who you're talking about. They can sometimes guess by the name of the cousin as well.
"My cousin and I had a sleepover last weekend."
"My cousin Andrew and I had a sleepover last weekend."
"My cousin,who is a girl, and I had a sleepover last weekend."

@Elz-m21 It's not typical for me because we say brother or sister so it's clear who we are talking about.

@1111Masha1111 That's alright, but obviously, if we said brother or sister it would mean one of your siblings and not your cousins. But down worry too much about specifying your cousin's gender as the reader doesn't usually have to know. :)

@Elz-m21 I mean one of the words is brother or sister but there's another word that makes us understand that they aren't our siblings. It's something like how distant the brother or sister is. It's still a brother or a sister but not close like a sibling. Yeah, In general people don't have to know but it's not very convenient. To be honest it's a bit confusing to me.
