It's an issue of language, unfortunately.
She correctly uses "sexes" with is the biological term but seems to have a problem with "female" as it's often in quotes; (I mean, don't get incensed and go on tirade like she did when trying to make a point between biological sexes while using socially defined terms instead of simple science based terms that convey the exact meaning meant - then wonder why it's unclear.)
Your choice of "biologically male and female" is clear in definition. But saying things like ["other" gender] becomes muddled unless you meant to include someone's identity label(gender)? And not simply the other sex? I am not sure which you meant. Gender is such a loaded word with a meaning not grounded in a solid/root usage (in this case sex and female/male in science for a topic related to science). Using the words that best describe what we mean could provide less confusion and generate more understanding of what people from various "sides" are trying to say.
My interest in the topic is the language part. It's crazy how much misunderstand between people there is based on a stubborn refusal to use, or simply, lazy choosing of words wrt to the topic of distinguishing sexes. Otherwise, for other non-related topics use what ever. But this article seems to be mostly a veiled rant against, "central liberal delusion" of sexes and gender from her pov.
