a subclass within a grammatical class (such as noun, pronoun, adjective, or verb) of a language that is partly arbitrary but also partly based on distinguishable characteristics (such as shape, social rank, manner of existence, or sex) and that determines agreement with and selection of other words or grammatical forms

Note that the definition says that biology informs, but does not define, gender. In fact, arbitrary is part of the definition. Further, dictionaries give us introductions to words, not a concrete and unchanging lexigraphical mandate
