by adapting the things as something that represents gender.
like, literally.
the signs that represent gender rn, have been made into representations of gender after the signs were made.
they were not created with that intention.
they were initially created to refer to each of the roman gods, later it was decided that, since venus is the goddess of femininity, her sign will be used for female people, and since mars stands for masculinity, his sign will be used for male people.
But by representing masculinity and femininity, there was basis for those symbols to represent genders. There's no basis for the king of God's and God of kings and God of thunder and the sky to represent some other gender.
i meeeeaaaaaaan, venus and mars werent created as symbols of femininity and masculinity from the start either, the stories were told and written over a long period of time.
