Gendering Kale is a pointless pursuit. On the one hand, one might see a strappingly masculine green in this buff bodybuilder of the vegetable kingdom. On the other hand, as a natural side dish, Kale's proper role as helpmate to the heartier, beefier main courses suggests a rather demure feminine veggie. Caught on the horns of dilemma, one finally resolves to abandon all prefabbed, cisgender boxes by transitioning the leaf from the icebox to the stomach in whatever role they/them are best disposed to fill at the moment.
