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.

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?

yes, all that identity stuff you don't hold with. the validity of that is completely besides the point I am making, which is about the consequences of taking the view you disagree with as opposed to the one you agree with

I will (and have) talked about consequences, but first I want to bottom - out what your Option B is. What is gender? It is unrelated to sex, but we assume that everyone recorded in data as F sex also has a F gender... What is it?

Is it word games (a polite synonym for sex) or is it something that we are assuming almost all females have, that is not related to their observable body?
