Having just come back from an extensive, grueling xenobiology survey of our galaxy on the good ship Stable Diffusion, I think I can put your concerns to rest. Aliens are not like us. Every identified sapient species had evolved entirely independently, with completely unique specific foundational biological underpinnings. They're not humans with just wrinkly poo poo pasted on their foreheads and bam different species. They're like from the ground-up, from the cellular level up, incomprehensibly incompatible and inconsistent with any common reference in our world views, life experiences, politics, cultures. About the only common traits you could get a double-digit percentage match for between all these specimens would be water and carbon based biology (55%, common), lateral symmetry (35% of surveyed sapient species), upright bipedal posture (33%) and electromagnetic perception in bands vaguely overlapping or adjacent to our visible-light spectrum (24%), bi-gendered sexual reproduction (11%). I've included specimen photos of the nearest-to-humanoid species we came across. These were the MOST human-like of the entire lot. Captain Kirk wouldn't be able to gently caress or even date a single one of them. One of them had startling mammalian/human-like eyes, brown and expressive. The females even have breast-like mammaries for feeding their young. But they are an extremely monogamous species with beaks for vaginas.
