So you're not against "gender" and "gender roles" because they're just sexual dimorphism and "femininity" and "masculinity" are what males and females biologically do

Pretty much, but more than just biologically. I think there is a feedback loop where societies construct gender roles informed by sexual dimorphism, and individuals internalise those roles as gender identity, and then may perform gender, reinforcing those roles, or not. Trans people have an atypical gender identity for their sex. More generally, sexism is the assumption that sex defines value or social role. I do not oppose gender, but I do oppose sexism.
