If the former, the idea is that sex and race are both collections of anatomical traits that are generally shared by a certain population of humans, and that gender and culture are a certain set of behaviors that are generally shared by a certain set of humans, and people often conflate sex with gender and race with culture.

Of course, that really doesn't have anything to do with "gender identity" which is what I am really trying to wrap my head around.
Both, but now just the latter. That you think race is a biological kind, though, suggests that we really do live in different worlds with different conceptual constructs.

Your friends sound unsupportive.
