Still, isn't it better just to judge people on what they say and do rather on inconsequential things like parts of their bodies that happen to be different from your own?
Not inconsequential, not in the least. You're squeamish about the whole man/woman thing, aren't you?
I just know that my experiences and my personality are shaped by so much more than that, and what I am and can't help shouldn't be used to judge me. Whether I'm a good person or a bad person, whether I'm right or wrong, whether I do something valuable with my life or not, is unrelated to my sex. And all of that, not someone's appearance or the differences they exhibit in who they are (so long as they aren't demonstrably harmful to anyone), should be the bases of how one is judged. Deciding you like or agree with someone based on them being male or female is like deciding you like or agree with someone because they have green eyes, or brown hair. It doesn't necessarily determine who they are unless they choose to base their life around that.
