But you aren’t critical of gender, any more than your feminism is either radical or feminist at all.

You don't even have to be a feminist at all to have that as part of your worldview -- the traditional conservative ideologies feminism was conceived of as a rebellion against also all accept this statement The Catholic view on sex isn't that different from TERFism

You could just as easily say "Men opening doors for women and always standing closer to the sidewalk and paying for dinner whenever they go out, because the world is objectively worse for women, is merely a recognition of biological sex"

And that core TERF idea- that the oppression of women is rooted in biology- is fundamentally a surrender to patriarchy. If the oppression of women is a function of biology, then it is, bar extensive population-scale genetic engineering, impossible to end the oppression of women.

Feminism is at core the idea that patriarchy can, and MUST, be overthrown, but locating the origin of oppression in biology rather than culture means agreeing with patriarchy about what men and women are & how they relate. TERFs begin their analysis by surrendering to patriarchy.
