Gender too.

That's the spirit!

Birds of a feather flock together. People of the same type, race and "gender," are to mutually associate

This is ridiculous. The genetics of personality and temperment are more connected to specific bloodlines than race, and can very quickly mutate. That's why we have all these sweet pitbulls nowadays even though they were bred as fighting dogs. There are probably slight sex differences in the brain, but none significant enough to reliably detect; for comparison, you can easily detect whether someone has played Super Mario Bros. in a brain scan.

The person who is most like me out of anyone I've ever met is the opposite sex (admittedly I do have gender dysphoria). I don't know about race but it doesn't matter.

The absence of evidence is not evidence to the contrary. The fact that I gave you even one example that doesn't follow your dichotomy disproves it.

You're an outlier. Outliers don't disprove the dichotomy that works for most people

You shared your story, and I shared mine. Your story doesn't matter to me, when mine doesn't matter to you

How do you know that I am an outlier?
