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.

If you delink 'gender' from biology what is it you think people are self identifying as? Is it something in your head/personality ('I think like a woman') or is it just a polite word for sex?
