My second new position is equally simple: “biological sex” is redundant. Your sex is your sex precisely because it is not contingent on what you feel or believe about it.
1. I think it's important to distinguish what psychologists call gender identity from what the public talks about. Since I'm sure you're familiar with how social media currently uses it, as this sort of individuality and self-expression concept, here's a short video lecture from the psychology side (not the best audio). Notice that these are developmental stages—things you can actually observe children going through.
2. Right; biological sex is redundant, but it is a useful redundancy. People forget that you're talking about biology when you mention sex, and that you're not talking about biology when you mention gender, so the extra adjective does help emphasize that.
