From a consequentialist point of view, option A women = biological sex, option B women = self identified gender, what changes? The overlap between these two sets in terms of the individuals they include, is what 99%? So analysis of e.g education outcomes, is substantially same
What do you mean by "gender" here Paddy? Is it the objective fact of being recognisably female to self & others (i.e. The same as sex), is it the choice to present in a way that is associated with feminine stereotypes? Is it innate "gender identity" (womanly personality)?

TJN statement says " We unreservedly reject any linking of gender to a “biological” sex binary", but you think there's a 99% overlap... It can't be both surely?

if you delink gender from biology, people who self-identify as women are overwhelmingly the same people as those who are biologically female. This just amounts to observing that only a small percentage of the population is trans.
