All that means is that people have a harder time understanding type. The analogy is perfectly valid, especially since people ignorantly ignore gender differences all the time. To ignore type differences (the ones that actually exist, of course) is no better, if you acknowledge that socionics is valid at all.
Nobody is ingoring type differences. But please don't ignore that people are more than their types. Characteristics can be altered by experience, the people you surround yourself with, the relationships you are in. Your outlook can change, your needs can change. Your basic type stays the same because your preferences stay the same. But priorities can certainly change, which makes this glorification of duality pointless.
And I will go as far as to say that whoever says this is not true needs to live a little.
