To me it sounds like she understands exactly what the difference is. She's drawing a clear line in the sand between the two, which I thought was the point that many people made to explain it. Gender is seperate from sex, and it is how you identify. Whereas sex is the biological definition, which it seems to be what she's referring to.
She says she completely respects people who identify in any way in which they feel most comfortable, and that she'll support them. But she also says that biological females have different lived experiences than trans-women. This seems completely fair to me.
What am I missing here? How do you define gender and sex?
