Opposite genders are those who determine sex. Those are masculine, feminine, common and neuter.

Masculine determines male sex, such as ambassador and salesman.

Feminine determines female sex, such as ambassadress and saleslady.

Common determines either a male or a female sex, such as cat and human.

And the last gender, Neuter does determine inanimate things. This means it IS neither a male or a female. Examples are ball, keyboard and headband.

Opposites are two things or concepts that have one or more characteristics that are completely different, to the extent that they are considered the reverse in some way.

Words that are nouns or adjectives for opposites are called antonyms. They include concepts such as good and bad, or light and dark, and nouns such as drought / flood that represent extremes of some trait or status. There are also opposite gender nouns for people and animals, such as man/woman, bull/cow, and colt/filly.

If you have to be opposite on opposite day can there ever be an opposite day if you are opposite on opposite day?

If you have to be opposite on opposite day, that makes it a day, and then there was no opposite day. But that can't be true since you HAVE to be opposite, which means that you have to be normal even though there is an opposite day because you are supposed to be opposite on opposite day, which means that you act normal as if it was a normal day, because that is the opposite of opposite day. (This is a classic "liar's paradox". Since there is already an opposite day, you should have a normal day because that is the opposite of an opposite day. But then it is not an opposite day.)
