Why is it feminine?

Realidad is feminine because it derives from the Latin "reālitās," which belonged to the third-declension Latin noun class (-tās endings) that were grammatically feminine, and this feminine gender was preserved when the word evolved into Spanish. The -tad/-dad suffix in Spanish, inherited from Latin -tās, consistently produces feminine nouns.
