      This is the whole thing -- "The world sucks for women because women are the 'weaker sex'" is this basic concept that infuses everyone's thinking about sex and gender You don't have to be a TERF to have that as part of your worldview

      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"

      You could just as easily say "Men being the primary breadwinner of the household and because women are the ones who gestate and birth an infant, and the ones who breastfeed, and the ones who hormonally bond with the child, is a recognition of biological sex"

      "Men being encouraged to join the military and work in demanding manual labor jobs, and women being kept away from such things as unladylike, is a recognition of biological sex" Etc, etc, etc Every single one of these things gets defended this way by people who agree with them

      Every single aspect of gender has some sort of connection to "biological sex" if you go back far enough in the minds of the people who defend it The whole basis of "feminism" is supposed to be wanting to *fight back* against that, to *change* it

      (The reason I say Jesse Singal is a TERF and not "TERF-adjacent" is the time he dug up a tweet of mine I think was extremely anodyne -- "Of course I believe sexism is rooted in reproductive biology, but the connections aren't simple or stable" -- and dunking on it)

      ("The oppression of women based on being smaller and weaker and being the sex that gives birth isn't SIMPLE or STABLE? Only a man could EVER say shit like this" And then his followers piled on me for a while So yeah, he's fundamentally a TERF)

      To get into the weeds a little here, I've seen people try out the dunk "They shouldn't even be called TERFs, they should be called TECFs, Trans-Exclusionary Cultural Feminists", but that one is too inside-baseball to have gotten much traction

      I.e. back in the actual 1970s, among people who self-identified as "radical feminists", people tried to claim there was a difference between actual radical feminism and "cultural feminism", which was mostly used as a derogatory term for a negative thing

      I.e. radical feminism says "There's a fundamental oppression of women by men baked into our society called patriarchy that *won't* be fixed just by achieving full liberalism or full Marxism And it needs to be 'rooted out', dismantled at the 'root'"

          "Cultural feminist" was a term for people who *sound like* radical feminists but don't actually follow the logic to the end Rather than saying "Somehow, some way, we've got to get at the root of this men vs. women thing and end it" they just go "No, that's impossible"

          "The world will always have a Men Team and a Women Team and our job is just to cheer on the Women Team" Janice Raymond's extremely pessimistic version of radical feminism honestly comes across as this (and her mentor Mary Daly is wildly unapologetically this)
