One fact supporting critical gender theory is that there is no single attribute exclusive to all members of a biological sex. Not all born-men have penises, for instance, or the same male genes, or even XY karyotypes (cf. de la Chapelle syndrome). Sex, then, is a ship of Theseus.
Right. But it does raise the question, how exactly do we define sex? It can't just be by karyotype/genotype/phenotype due to the exceptions to each rule. I'm still skeptical of crit gender theory, but it's something to think about.

But the same is true of most categorical labels; there are birds that can't fly, mammals that lay eggs.

All birds have beaks, though, heh. And all mammals are warm-blooded. But I see your point.
