What does she mean by "biological sex and gender"? I like a lot of what she is saying, but she seems to conflate the two. Is she saying people are biologically masculine or feminine, or is she using "gender" as a synonym for "sex"?

Yes this is my exact reaction. It seems like she is using the word gender to describe sex differences. I’m not seeing her parse out the cultural social element, and it’s associations (like pink and blue, etc). Plenty of women like sports, but it is culturally a male activity. She says “gender is how you feel” and that male and female brains are different. Sigh so hard to get facts straight when conversation is censored

Hard to get the facts straight when people can't get the vocabulary straight.
