Well yes, that's how that works. Sex is defined around the the type of gametes your body is organized around producing. It doesn't matter how you present.

Their point is that an intersex individual with XY gametes can develop ovaries. By jk's definition that person is a woman. Which is wrong.

And that is the simplest of examples, before we ever get to more complicated genetics.

And THAT is only talking about gametes and chromosomes, which is distinct from the social construct of gender identity (all of the behavioral and psychological stuff which is potentially influenced by, but not solely defined by, those genetic things)

I agree that gender identity is separate, but as far as the biology goes, sex is defined by gametes, and determined by chromosomes. Various DSDs like Swyer/Klinefelter/etc are variations within a sex.
