Toads are basically genderless plant people, right? So some of them just choose to adopt feminine characteristics?
I would imagine that to be 100% correct. Also this is some nice bait I have fallen into.

they aren't genderless, it was cleared up by an interview. There are male and female Toads in the RPGs

Mushrooms are not plants

They'd technically be sexless, not genderless. Toadette clearly identifies as female. That's even assuming there's a point to having a male/female dichotomy if they just reproduce through spores or something, making the whole thing cosmetic anyway.

OP means sexless
On November 17, 2014, GameSpot posted an article featuring a segment of an interview with Koichi Hayashida on Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, who, when discussing the Toad's genders, stated that, "[...]we never really went out of our way to decide on the sex of these characters, even though they have somewhat gendered appearances." This led the article's writer and many others to conclude that the Toad species is a genderless race. Other more direct sources reveal, however, that Toads are not exactly genderless. An interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, for instance, has clarified that when Toads were designed, the developers did not focus on their genders until Toadette, who was clearly designed to be female, was introduced, and then players began assuming the Toad character as male.[49] In other words, Toads were more likely viewed with an ambiguous gender at first rather than being flat-out genderless as the GameSpot article seems to imply.
