They're the same in that you don't get a choice in either case before your birth.
You would be treating people differently based on something they have no influence over, instead of actually recognizing them as a individual who can make their own choices.
If you decide that discriminating based on race or sex (or anything else you're born with) is okay, you're starting down a slippery slope with a running start and no more obvious stops in sight. Best not to start with this at all.
