The stance that it is sex, not gender, that should categorize people as men and women. It denies that trans women are actual women, and trans men are actual men. Gender critical people consider sex to be more important than gender in most contexts, especially when talking about female oppression.
Gender from their POV only consists of sexist stereotypes that should be abolished, not encouraged. According to them, anybody can be as feminine or masculine as they want, no matter what their sex is. It does not change whether they are a man or a woman. They usually don't believe a person can "choose" their pronouns, but that they simply refer to a person's sex.
They are often called TERFs by others, but consider this a slur and inaccurate. TERF implies that their feminism excludes all trans people, which is false - it actually includes trans men.

"What, you don' t believe trans women are women!??"
"No, I'm gender critical. Trans women are men and trans men are women."

People that believe women are only defined by vaginas.
It’s another word for TERF, because they think TERF is a slur somehow lol.

Used by feminists, and is exactly as the name suggests - critical of gender and the huge increase in transgenderism. Gender critical feminists believe in being skeptical of harmful behaviour and the side effects that may be directly or indirectly caused by transgenderism itself and the „affirming“ surgeries.

A euphemism for transphobic. Not to be confused with being critical of gender, which many trans people are.

Joanne, a gender critical famous writer, called the police when she decided that the women in the public bathroom was a man.

Another word for Terfs and their beliefs.
People who believe gender critical ideology are racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic transphobes that claim to fight for women's rights whilst threatening anyone who disagrees.
They also must believe and support everything their lord and saviour JK Rowling says.
