How can there be 'male' or 'female' when humans share at least 80%-90% of their genes with each other? If race is a social construct and is not real because humans share most if not all of their genes with each other, how can biological sex be real and not be a social construct?

Get out of your head and into reality. There are two sexes. The sexes are dictated by if you have a vagina or a penis. The vagina makes the egg and grows the baby, the penis fertilizes the egg.

It’s amazing how gender ideology can confuse our brain to literally question the most basic obvious thing.

By the way, it takes 0.2 seconds to know someone’s sex. And you never forget it.

The sexes are dictated by if you have a vagina or a penis.

Not true. The sexes are determined by which type of gamete one's body is arranged and meant to make at some point in life. Gametes are made or stored in the gonads, which are the testes in males and ovaries in females. Neither the vagina nor penis is a gonad.

The vagina makes the egg and grows the baby

No, the vagina definitely does NOT make eggs or grow a baby!

Human eggs come from the ovaries, where after puberty they mature and are released on a regular basis during the ovulation/menstrual cycle. Human females have all their eggs already at about four months in utero; hence, we are born with them - we do not make new eggs during our lifetimes outside our mothers' wombs.

Babies are grown in the uterus/womb. Not in the vagina. Most babies are born via the vagina, aka the birth canal, which is connected to the uterus by the cervix.

the penis fertilizes the egg.

Wrong again. An egg is fertilized by sperm, the male gamete. Sperm is made in the testes. Sperm travels through the penis and out the end of it through the urethra when it is mixed with fluids made by the prostate and other glands in the male reproductive tract.

A penis is delivery device for sperm, as well as the organ that contains the male urethra and allows males to urinate. But a human male with intact testicles and no penis still can produce viable sperm capable of fertilizing an egg. Many eggs are fertilized when sperm is delivered to an egg using other means than a penis.

It’s amazing how gender ideology can confuse our brain to literally question the most basic obvious thing.

Yes, this is true. But it's also amazing how someone spouting authoritatively about basic biology seems clueless about the most obvious, simple aspects of it. It seems like you've never even looked at images of the human reproductive tracts or even read a basic encyclopedia entry about sex anatomy, processes and how babies are made.

For your own sake, skipdip, please take some time to learn the basic facts of human/mammalian reproduction.
