I'm a bit confused about this, isn't the whole lgbtq movement advocating for the distinction between terms "sex" and "gender" exactly the same way as those quotes do? Or do lgbtq people advocate for equating "sex" to "gender"? Honestly, this whole thing is always a huge mindfuck to try to comprehend.

Posting from another thread:

Her comments cover everything from “trans women are mostly autistic boys who have been gaslit” to “there are only two sexes” to “trans people are unfit to play in their gender’s sport.” However, there are far worse comments floating around out there that talk about genital mutilation and all kinds of other heinous shit.

It wasn't just "I have a different opinion, we can agree to disagree", it was full-fledged unhinged stuff that all followed the TERF playbook.
