I disagree with the last one as "Races" aren't simply a thing to begin with, while genders and sexusal orientations to exist, even if they are complicated.
You've probably heard "gender is a social construct" before, so surely you could argue about that, too.
Not really. Genders do exist in biology. They may not always be clear cut (and one animal might have also both genders at the same time) but they most certainly do exist and are the foundation for sexual reproduction which is very much a thing, next to asexual reproduction. Human races are not.
No they literally don't.
You're thinking of Sexes.
no, those are sexes. different thing altogether!
although, tbf, not all languages distinguish between the two...
Fair enough. Then genders are a social construct based on biological features that do exist. While "human races" are a social construct absolutely not based on the biological concept of races.
Even that is too simplistic, intersex people do exist, where there's biological traits assigned with both genders in one person, from birth
Yes, so what?
And why do you think they don't matter?
