Sort of a fun fact type of thing:
This is the basic argument of trans-exclusionary radical feminism (TERF for short). Essentially, they view gender as a synonym of sex while subsequently denying the existence of transgender people. In their worldview, a man who wants to wear a dress, get boob implants, have his dick cut off, etc. is still a man, regardless of how he presents himself. They also would think someone who fits this description still benefits from male privilege, etc.
They're not particularly popular as a group with respect to intersectional feminism as a result.
