Biological gender = biological sex

Gender identity and grammatical gender are both different.

When people say "gender is not the same as biological sex" what they mean is "gender is not important, so we shouldn't even have a word for it. Gender identity is what's important, so that's what we'll use the words for."

"Gender identity is what's important" is not a stupid argument. The problem is redefining words, so that your arguments don't make sense to anyone who doesn't know that you're using special definitions.

You just have to learn to speak their language, as they try to manipulate language to further a political agenda. It's no different from what everyone else does.
