If you by these you mean
"'adult' makes concerns of pedophilia irrelevant," and "'male' makes makes concerns of feminism irrelevant,"
then you should write
"'adult' makes 'pedophilia' orthogonal," and "'male' makes 'feminism' orthogonal."
Two vectors are orthogonal if neither of them can be expressed as a scalar multiple of the other. Synonymously, the vectors are said to be "linearly independent." Thus the casual use of orthogonal to mean "independent" or "irrelevant."
Therefore, this note is orthogonal to the thread on sexual self-expression.
