It's... fine? Puzzling? It seems like there was an opportunity to provide numerous citations to examples of clear sex differences and their implications, but none have been provided. Is that intentional? This feels like the opening move of a chess game, scooting a pawn two spaces forward. Is this the start of the long game? Make the assertion and let them provide the first counter-evidence?

I think its brief nature is appropriate as this letter was published in a journal of medicine. The average reader knows very well that sex is not a spectrum and that is sex, not gender identity, what matters in clinical practice, regardless that some of them may pretend to think otherwise.

Not sure about the other two, but Emma Hilton and Colin Wright have been speaking out against the denial of sex for a while.
