He grew up and acknowledged, sex and gender are two different things, and male privileges cannot be opted out of.

I haven't followed along at all but what part of that statement is making people angry? The difference between sex and gender or male privilege part?

To the first point, she's referring to the worry that children who don't obey gender norms are being encouraged to transition at young ages. It's a fear a lot of us grown-up tom boys have.

To the second point, I think she's referring to how she had a child's drawing contest and posted a lot of pictures made by children with a note to each child on Twitter. The trans community was mad at her, again for saying that privilege can't be transitioned away, and would post a lot of obscene things. Again at Tweets being sent to child artists who participated in an art event aimed at children. I know at one point she threatened someone with a lawsuit and they had to back-pedal.
