"In the process of labeling and training on medical data, I reinforced social constructs like gender and race to a disgusting extent."

There are two sexes. Regarding race, there are diseases whose incidence varies with self-reported race, so the concept of race should not be expunged.

Agreeing with your understood intent that biological reality should not be made subservient to ideology, but

Human gender is pretty complicated biologically.

You can have male chromosomes, that don't express and end up female.

You can have male chromosomes and have genetic programmes to modify anatomical structures express incorrectly due to hormonal disturbances, etc, etc.
