No, I mean sex. From a radical feminist perspective, this is what women and girls have been and still are oppressed and disadvantaged by, as a class.
For example, if you consider women denied the right to vote, this was imposed based on them being female, whether it's the pre-1920s United States, or Saudi Arabia prior to 2015.
Another example, if you look at Afghanistan under the Taliban right now, women and girls denied the right to education are being persecuted on this basis due to being female. They can't just somehow reassign themselves to the male sex and identify out of this oppression, that's not how it works.
