Ignoring upstream's context and whether Taylan Kammer is misguided or
not, listing sex among the list could be useful if a potential harasser
H who understands the difference between sex and gender and knows that
V has sex A not corresponding to gender B under current social
convention, and H would harass V over their sex (but H is fine with V's
gender).

To me, this seems a rather contrived scenario though ...
