It is so hard for cishets to break free from this thinking. They almost grasp the concept when they nominally understand 'gender' to be constructed and distinct from 'sex', but then make the same mistake as reactionaries by lumping some non-biological aspect of 'gender' back into 'sex' in a trans-exclusionary way. At-best they end up misunderstanding the trans experience in a deeply bigoted way, and at-worst they cynically use 'sex' as a biologically deterministic justification for transphobia and sexism.
'Sex' is almost not even worth preserving as a classification in people, except in some very specific medical treatment questions - but even then, to someone who is transitioned/transitioning many of those medical distinctions become blurred and nonrigid again.
This person sounds like a TERF to me, they can fuck off.
