just learn some dialect where they largely drop the genders, there's gotta be one, and as a bonus i'm sure you'll sound slightly more native

Yeah, nah. It's not like in Scandinavia where half the dialects lost the feminine and half the others look at you like you killed their mother for saying "en bok".

Most French "dialects" vary mostly in prononciation and a few regional words or expressions. Partly because French is a heavily regulated language, and partly because most dialects are relatively recent anyway. In the early 20th century the central government erased all regional languages and forced standard French on all society.
