Gender in the sense you are constructing is unnecessary, redundant. Sex is biological. How one lives their life, their attitudes, dress, speech patterns, preferences, desires, passions, interests used to be defined by gender stereotypes with little allowance for living outside the socially constructed boundaries. Instead of inventing something called gender which is distinct from sex, we can just simply relax these boundaries, which we have been doing. No need for extra layers. There, fixed it.
Also, I think your classification that the right thinks everything is biology and the left thinks it’s a mix of both nature and nurture is backwards. In my experience the left has been far more skeptical of biology than the right has been of environment. Steven Pinker in his book Blank Slate draws this out pretty clearly. Or perhaps I am ignoring the far right crazies who I discount entirely, who may actually believe in 100% biology.
Sure, it's reasonable enough, pro tanto, but it'd be good to see the more difficult questions, such as trans women participating in female sports or gaining admission to women only spaces, being addressed.
