Biological mechanisms like this are not directly related to human behaviour patterns.

This is a pretty big non sequitur. And a conflation of "identity politics" with sociology. And a misrepresentation of sociology!




But thats like saying legs aren't related to human behaviour patterns. Without the DNA for legs, I proposition, humans would act very differently.


Correct! Likewise, without the DNA for a brain, humans would act very differently.

Please give an example of a human without the DNA for a brain.


It’s not black or white. How we behave is obviously heavily influenced by our initial DNA but there’s clearly a heavy influence on “mind” from external factors. It has been shown (proven?) that we can grow beyond things like “identity politics.”
