AnonFTW, yes that is a hermie. Those are balls, and i do see the pistils too, so u definately have a shemale there.
Is this your first grow? Is this your only grow?
Reason why i am asking, and i know alot of ppl are going to want to hunt me down and burn me at the stake for saying this .... But if its your only grow, let "it" live. I was a proud dada of a hermie my last grow. (S)he started to hermie, and hermied bad, but i took the whole thing as a learning experience. The harvesting, drying, curing etc also has some learning attached, so doing it with a hermie can help u learn (if it is your first grow)
Despite what alot of ppl think, and i am not trying to start a war here, but seeded bud is still bud, yes, sensimelia will be more potent, and obviously u dont have to pick out seeds, but it is not like it is competely useless.
There is also alot of debate on using hermie seeds, some swear it will carry the hermie gene, some swear it wont, others say it depends on the environmental aspects, same as non hermie seeds, but they may be stressed easier, and turn hermie easier. Currently i am growing 3 seeds that came from my hermie, so we will see how it goes.
TL;DR: yes, u have a hermie, and my 2cents, no, dont kill it. Let her ride, learn all there is to learn. If its not your only plant, try and isolate it though.
Hope the wall of text above, helped in some way

It's not a hermie, it's a male, their won't be any buds, kill it.

I politely beg to disagree, i can see pistils. I took a screenshot of OP's pic, coz my phone cant edit images

Still don't see any pistils, but looking at the pic on a phone. In either case, it's not worth growing out, just look at the distance between nodes.

Yes it is my first grow... but i have 4 plants altogether. Im growing these plants from a hermie plant that was chocked full of seeds. I had one turn male and this one is hermie-ing but the other 2 are forsure female, not sire how that worked out but should i keep the hermie woth the two other girls or get rid of it asap?

That is definitely a hermi. You can keep it in the tent but pluck off them balls before they open or you going to get a tent or whatever full of seedy bud.
Don't kill it because that would be a waste of a couple of zips and feminized seeds. The bud will be mediocre but will be good for hash.
*just remember that seed from a hermi will carry the same hermi trait, so be gentle with the plants that grow from the seed if you do keep that plant alive*

Kill that shit because you don't need that kind of "experience"

This is a hermie from the get-go, or easily hermied under stress. I wouldn't keep the seeds.
If it was a hermi with a couple late flower nanners, or a purposely hermied plant through hard stress then yes i'd say keep the seeds.

Well seeing that u have 2 other females, i would not keep the hermie with them. It will polinate them, and rhat is something u want to avoid.
I would, if i could, not kill it of though. I would rather isolate it, but if thats not an option, its your choice. 2 seedless harvests or 3 seeded.
Edit: and keep a close eye on those two girls. Like said before hermie seeds, may hermie easily. So to much of any stress can make them hermie too. The pressure is on

I find that it really doesn't matter they will hermi either way and i keep some hermi seed just as a fallback. if I run out of good seed. I don't do clones I just grow from seed.

So with that theory all fem seeds should hermi.

Lol no the seed from a hermi. Real fem seed does not carry the hermi trait but the seed from a hermi will and they(the seed from a hermi) will 9 out of 10 hermi as well.
