race is not real. 1% different DNA does not match any realistic genetic boundary. the rule in biology is if it can cross breed it's the same species. race at best is a reference to a broad regional type, like you have the race of blackbirds and the race of canary-like seed eaters, and the race of large corvids which includes ravens, crows, rooks, and the small corvids that kinda belong in there like jackdaws. in phylogeny it's called a family. felines, canines, crustaceans, arthropods, worms, the races of microbes like bacteria, fungi, amoeba, all characterised by characteristics that you can condense into a prototype, and very often loose cross-breeding ability like donkeys and horses.

gender is from the same root as "generate" and is entirely biological in its formal, old definition. the marxist reframing of it as a preference is a covert invalidation of both generation and autonomy.
