Grammatical gender is an indicator on how the words are declined in different cases.

der Bleistift der Berg die Waschmaschine die Blume das Schachbrett das Wasser
Nominativ der Bleistift der Berg die Waschmachine die Blume das Schachbrett das Wasser
Genitiv des Bleistifts des Bergs der Waschmaschine der Blume des Schachbretts des Wassers
Dativ dem Bleistift dem Berg der Waschmaschine der Blume dem Schachbrett dem Wasser
Akkusativ den Bleistift den Berg die Waschmaschine die Blume das Schachbrett das Wasser

Thus, in the case of compound nouns, the noun at the end is what determines the gender: das Blei + der Stift -> der Bleistift.

Also, tables look fucking horrible on mobile. Or is it only me (using Liftoff).
