History

On Terra, and any connected world really (Forice, Sheiia, Amicrissal & others) there was never, since the first light of a close star or few caressed their dirt, an idea to label creatures on whatever kind of bases.
When the population was moved on the planet that is Terra they were already a group close to each other, accepting each other as they are. There was no negative feelings of any kind just because someone has a different skin color, because someone has a partner with the same genitals as their own or because they identify as a genderless being or an attack helicopter or a reincarnated dinosaur.

Participants

The reason there are no labels in those worlds is the fact that when a child is born they're immediately treated as a person first. That's where everyone's mind goes. Even in the behaviour towards that child - there's no "goo-goo-gaa-gaa" talk, pinching cheeks and making silly faces. There is normal voice talk, gentle touching and toys or shadow puppets to make one laugh. There's no gender reveal, no "let's paint the room pink because the baby's going to be a girl". And when this child grows up - with the first signs that they understand "oh, you two look different, what's that about?" - the parents would explain the male and female thing, they'll give the kid a big mirror and say something like "What you see here is beautiful the way it is. Should you ever want to change it we are going to support you as it will never define you - what defines you is what you choose to do every day with the things you can do."
1 - Anniton - City of the First Ones
There has been some cases of beings coming from other worlds and deciding to openly express their negative emotions about interracial or interspecies couples walking about and those individuals were immediately noticed, caught by the police, alleviated of all their belongings and sent back to their world with a restriction charm placed upon them so that they can't return.
