I don't recall seeing anything to that effect during my time playing the game. Perhaps you can point me to the quest which tells me that my characters aren't valid due to their gender?
Returning to the point, which I encourage you to also do (and mind the disrespectful comments about BSing, thank you - if you prefer for the discussion to be a rude one then you're welcome to behave poorly via private messages, but out in the open, remember there are moderators afoot and you'd do well to keep yourself civil)...
...the latter part of my comment remains utterly intact even if we completely ignore the MSQ. While using the dragoon job and interacting with NPCs in Ishgard, a miqo'te, au ra, etc, receives no differing dialogue compared to anyone else.Â
That said, the MSQ quests are also evidence of the equality of the races in the eyes of the NPCs. It doesn't matter that you're supposedly the Super Special One True Hero. If it was going to be bizarre for someone "of your kind" to be that, the dialogue from the NPCs would be something to the effect of "of all the fur-eared half-witted choices the gods could've made for someone to have this gift, it had to be one of /you/ things?!"
Instead, it's nothing but respect. Regardless of the race of the toon. Regardless of the quest (except in cases where the NPC is equally disrespectful toward someone of any other race, too).
I'm really not seeing where there's any lore basis for any claim that there's racial prejudice happening.
