And that’s the fate of the modern man: to look at a planet called Venus and see a gender, instead of asking why or trying to figure out how we came to that conclusion. By investigating that, one could easily understand also why it is inhabitable.
May be hard to ingest, but I suggest the Treatise of the Sphere to begin with.
Gender is socially ascribed (sex is different, so is gender identity), and thus defined by popular belief. (There's an evolving norm that for people, socially ascribed gender should conform to gender identity out of respect for the individual, but since Venus isn't a person and doesn't have a gender identity, that doesn't seem applicable here.)
