I was wondering if there is a difference if you add that ん. Is the first one
correct and the second one not?

> 男じゃ **ないん** ですか？
>
> 男じゃ **ない** ですか？

Difference between the questions 「男じゃないんですか？」 and 「男じゃないですか？」
I think the difference is how long you assumed that the person is a man.
「男じゃない **ん** ですか？」 implies that you've been assuming that the person is a man
for some time. On the other hand, 「男じゃないですか？」 implies that you have just
realized that the person is a man (though, it depends on the emphasis. You
would put the emphasis on the word 「ない」 in this case).
