She pretty explicitly advocated for the segregation of "biological" women and trans women when speaking about spaces traditionally segregated by sex (ie bathrooms and changing rooms), as well as supporting legal distinctions between sex and gender. While you could make an argument about whether you think these rights should be granted, you cannot make an argument that this isn't a question of trans rights. It is.

Is there a reason why the word 'biological' has quotation marks around it?

Indeed there is. The reason is because biology is a lot more complex than a lot of people make it out to be and simplifying it into a binary is overly and misleadingly reductive. Thanks for asking.
