Isn't critical gender theory that of people who are
sceptical of the notion that gender and sex can be different?
As for pronouns and people whose identified gender and sex don't match that predates modern gender theory. Gender Dysphoria has been a recognised medical condition for decades and we had 'transexuals'. If someone had completed transitioning would you still refer to them as their old pronoun?
It's just there was been a widening of that to encompass the idea gender can be fluid - i.e multiple states other than the binary views - and more. I'll admit I don't really follow the theory that closely or understand it that well.
But the base idea that someone's view/expression of their gender can differ from their biological sex is
much older.
