Not really: discrete race is proven to be a bogus concept, culture is explicitly taught and can be switched at will (not easily, mind, but it's possible), and isn't really discrete as well, sex is physically defined and usually falls into discrete binary scale, hermaphrodites and other exceptions being relatively rare, and gender is mostly in-born too, even though more of a continuum, otherwise there wouldn't be any need for SRS in the first place, as any sort of gender dysphoria would only need psychotherapy and counseling in this case.


Also, I vaguely recall the gender identity being unfalsifiable as a feature and an explicit point of some definitions, though I cannot remember why it was done so (if I ever knew).
