for example a man has his chest uncivered for skelah,
It’s a machlokes in the gemara in Sanhedrin:
One opinion is that a man is covered in front with a small cloth and a woman is covered in front and in back.
The other opinion is that a man is stoned naked and a woman clothed.
The other major difference (vis a vis skilah) is that if the person is hanged afterward (as is done for some sins), only a man is hanged. A woman is not hanged.
Otherwise, the procedure is the same — and, in all events, the court case itself is carried out identically regardless of the gender of the defendant.
