the author simultaneously wants the deconstruction of women's social roles but is also a TERF
Well, yes. The RF stands for "Radical Feminist", lest we forget.
The TERF position is that the treatment of "woman" as a salient category based on societal attitudes and cultural roles rather than one based on sex necessarily reinforces those roles and attitudes. Thus saying that a male is a woman is at best meaningless and at worst actively harming the cause of feminism.
It's not my position, but it seems to be a self-consistent one.
trans people and their allies that are doing the most to bring this world about. Directly challenging the association between biology and certain forms of social relation
I don't think the TERF would agree.
By analogy: Alice wants to abolish religion in general but the Catholic church in particular. Bob wants to pass a law affirming that those born Protestant are allowed to identify as Catholic if they'd like. Do you understand why Alice would be upset with such a law?
Equally impractical idea:
Convert all arable federal lands into Strategic Amish Zones. With a TFR of 6 children per woman, we'd only need 9% of the country to become Amish to return national TFR to >2.
