so we all now Bulblins and Bokoblins from many in counters throughout zelda history, but in Twilight princess they seem to be almost related, i don't mean to sound sexist but maybe Bokoblins are the female of the variety.

Um...no. How could there be a King Bulblin if that were so?

I think Bokoblins and Bulblins in Twilight Princess are like orcs and goblins. Bulblins are the big orks, and the Bokolins are the smaller goblin cousin or brothers.

No they definitely appear to be separate species. Especially so in TP. They all seem to be different monsters that have names that end in "blin" like Moblins and miniblins. Probably copying the name scheme from the traditional goblin from other fantasy games but remaining slightly unique by having Hyrule's own version. In the same way Hylians resemble traditional elves but they are not. And very similat to the various enemies that have the word -fos in their names. Like the skeleton Stalfos, Lizardfos, Dinolfos, Aerialfos, and wolfos. All are different creatures with a similar ending to their names.

There does not seem to be any females of any of these races around in Hyrule so far, but the ones that have been seen are meant to be a monster meant for fighting only. There are no moblin, bulblin, or bokoblin villages or cultures nearby that Link has visited to see any other NPC variations. The moblins have shown a bit of character in the oracles series and WW, but it was very limited. While one bulblin has actually spoken to Link, even then that surprised Midna.
And like Ganondorf said, I believe Bokoblins and Bulblins are supposed to be Hyrule's version of larger orcs and smaller goblins. The bokoblins shared this same trait in WW with the moblins, they looked like smaller versions of moblins that were easier to kill. TP changed them from the pig like appearance to a more goblinish look.
Even the miniblins do not resemble any of the other blin species meaning that the blin name might be more of a title or category and not a complete species name. While ST has a miniboss named Big Blin that has a doglike appearance.
Big Blin and miniblins look nothing alike at all,
