ASL retains fingerprints of the Langue des Signes Française, including the French grammar of gender in nouns, with masculine signs near the forehead and feminine signs near the chin.
For International Man’s Day, the Support of Positive Masculinity, its Contribution to Society, and Men’s Issues, My ASL Dictionary has a 2014 cartoon of a Gentleman dressed as a King in a Playing Card Costume showing the ASL hand sign for MAN.
The thumb tip of the 5 hand touches the temple, then arcs down to the
chest.
