12 years of french in school but never figured it out

is there a panel of French aristocrats who decide what each new item's gender is? Curious how they figure this out, seems... tricky.

Fyi 
Gender was determined from Latin origins and the choice of Le or La is just a matter of pronounciation for most of the words

Now French académie cowards try to « preserve the language » and argue about genders for Covid and bullshit but it’s just from Latin origins where the genre already existed and thru de transition from Latin to French le or la was just to make it easy to speak
