I can understand you not taking up the challenge. The logic is inescapable. You will not be able to determine if Perry and Jules sexual act is moral WITHOUT asking about their genetic make-up. That's the entire point. You have an act that is moral between Persons A and B but immoral between Persons C and D and the ONLY difference is their genetic make-up. Ergo - your morality is based on the genetics, not the act or anything else about the act.
You cannot name any other moral precept that you hold that is based like this. And this is exactly the basis for older moral precepts that have long been discarded as racist (e.g., a black man cannot marry or have sex with a white women, etc.). Yours is now "genderist" rather than "racist," but the underlying principle is the same. And there is no escaping this reality.
