How is this so difficult for you to understand? Gender is culture. Is culture innate? No. Is it learned? Yes.

But culture is natural to humans. A human without culture is dysfunctional. A human needs a culture to function correctly.

To me in that sense gender is like language. It's cultural but comes to us naturally.

If we raised children socially with robots that did not talk, they would over time develop their own language.

I believe the same is true of gender. If you raised children with sexless robots, gender would emerge, gradually but naturally.
