It's just that, despite hysterical accusations of "biological essentialism" leveled at gender critical feminists (and biologists) for insisting on a stable definition of sex, the belief in an inner "gender identity" is also essentialist. It's postmodern in the sense that, at least on a sociological level, gender identity is unstable and undefined, but it is an innate essence. Gender identity is foundational to the individual ("you're literally killing me with your invalidation!!!"), yet it is immune to interrogation. It cannot be deconstructed.
