I think there’s a conflation of terms here. There’s Big G Gender, and little g individual-gender-identity.
Genders are social constructs. “Girls like pink and ponies” is not tied to anything except culture.
Your gender identity however, is absolutely not a social construct. Otherwise people wouldn’t be raised as one gender, live that way for decades and then figure out that the reason things have felt “wrong” is because they’ve been living a gender that doesn’t fit.
The given examples were about gender identity, how that’s correlated with biology, and how it’s more than just how you present yourself to the world.
Conflating Gender and gender identity can lead to a lot of confusion.

My comment was more toward the first influencing an individuals relationship with the second if that makes sense.
