After a while, most words (with exceptions) just ‘feel’ like one gender or the other, but nobody ever thinks about it in terms of ‘sex’. I barely even think about it at all, and I’ve only been speaking French daily for a couple years at this point.
Although it still bothers me that ‘silicone’ is feminine. It’s just not logical.

La richesse de la langue ne cesse jamais de m’étonner.
