Of course its not realistic with the real world we live in. But who cares? Its a fantasy world, nothing is realistic. Nobody can tell me that they like to not be acknowledged as a person, no matter their gender, ethnicity or political views.
This is where the argument always falls apart for me, saying that it's not realistic isn't a good defense. I care. If you want the world to engage with the issue, that's good, if you just want it be blind to you, so you can play pretend, that's another. I think in a world of magic, what is and isn't possible should become part of the lore, the narrative, the themes at play. I don't think they should just tack on things because of something going on in our mundane world.
then ignore that part of my argument if you please. the other part still stands.
......... I don't even know what I'm doing here. This kind of internet argument never leads anywhere. I'll leave you to it
