No, but they are talking about the kinds of roles and attitudes that are typically found lined up pretty neatly with genitalia. If gender is whatever one is, then how could you have a trans woman? What, exactly, would such a biological man be transitioning to? I'll tell you what-- he's transitioning to the behaviors and fashion sense that is normally associated with people born with vaginas and XX chromosomes.
There are actual women, and there are biological males who act in ways that women generally act. To pretend there are no norms, no general trends that are defined by physical phenotype, is to ignore the reality of the human species.
Don't believe me? Define "woman" at all. In any regard, under any position heteronormative or otherwise. What's a woman? Anyone who cares to identify using that word? Can Bubba with a beard and a donkey dong put on a little mascara and make us call him missis?
