Sorry, that was a bad, old, language joke.
“People have sex,words have genders.”
I think french has 4 genders and perhaps spanish too. Latin (from the dinosaur days) had 3 ?
Someone will correct me but i think those are singular and plural gendered words.
Again, sorry, just a bad old joke and i only know enough to get slapped and some naughty words.

Yes, Latin nouns have 3 genders, both in the singular and plural. German nouns have 3 genders in the singular, but not in the plural.
There are only two genders in the french language - musculine and feminine. The article “le” goes before a masculine noun, and the article “la” goes before a feminine noun. If the noun is plural, the article becomes the plural “les”, but the noun remains masculine or feminine. It’s as though the english article “the” had a masculine version and a feminine version that matched the noun it preceded.
