Maybe this planet is the only one that has biological genders and does the sex.

"Miss Universe, once again!"

"We're all asexual beings, you weirdos. What kind of weak species need two versions to make another?"

It's not like it's terribly uncommon for some Earth species or other to go from sexual reproduction, to giving asexual reproduction another try. What invariably happens is that the daughters only sub-species does well for a few generations, and then gets completely wiped out by some disease. We're not having sex for fun, we're having it because "applying combinatorics to our genetics (particularly the immune system genes)" is the best tool we have to try to stay ahead of microbes.

What? What's the relationship between miss universe and sex?

Miss, as opposed to Mister or Mx universe

That's gender then comrade. And I don't know how you go from a Miss competition to sexual reproduction

Presumably an asexually reproducing species wouldn't have a concept of gender since it arises from social classifications of sex, which they also would not have.
