In my country, most things have an inherent gender. Like dogs are referred to as male, cats as female. This does not just relate to living things, but all things. We also have a neutral gender, but most things have a clear gender, so referring to a dog as male may be correct, even if it is a female dog. Just a random thought, but does your T perhaps have roots in a different culture?
