My native language is gendered but I still don’t always know how I’m supposed to talk about male members of a species with a feminine name or vice versa.

i thought gendered languages had two genders for words like “person” so you could make the swap when the gender is known

Most words that I can think of for various categories of people do have two genders, although in many cases the feminine version sounds very awkward to me, almost like the “trix” suffix in English.
