'Turtle years' do not exist, any more than 'dog years', 'cat years' or so on. Different species age at different speeds at different parts of their life, some have long childhoods, some have long adolescence or maturing period, some have long adulthoods. So we can't compare the human and turtle rate of living. Also some turtles live for many hundreds of years, some for a few decades.

How do you tell how old a sea turtle?

There is no way to tell how old a sea turtle is or even how long they live. The best estimate is that they can be up to eighty years old when they die. There are no rings or lines on a turtle shell that increase with age to tell how old the turtle is. A typical sea turtle reaches breeding age around 25-30 (for loggerheads). After a turtle does become an adult, it is anyone's guess how old it is.

How old are the red eared slider turtles when you know the gender?

The gender of a turtle does not affect the age of the turtle. You can tell the age of your turtle by looking at the layers on the turtles scute. Scutes are what makes a turtles shell look quilted. Each scute sheds about once a year, revealing a new scute and leaving a layer on the new scute. By seeing how many layers are on a scute you can tell how many years old your turtle is. Example. 2 layers = 2 years, 10 layers = 10 years. A turtle with no layers will be less than a year old.
