Woke people only ever want a blank slate to which they can apply their ideology.
They wont tolerate nature intruding.
Why is there no neuro-psychology component in gender studies for example?

Go learn in some depth of “woke” ideology before getting fired up online about it. Learn it from “woke” people and talk with them and take it seriously and maybe next time you might bring some critical thought to the table instead of the same rote “woke people bad and anti-science” drivel.
If you find fringe examples, and force it enough, yes. Because, thousands of years of global civilization are invalidated because of what this or that tribe does.
So to say something like that the gender binary is an oppressive and unjust norm in global society because trans, intersex, non-binary, gender-fluid, etc people exist does at least seem more justified when you find that it’s not the only naturally occurring way for humans to categorize themselves.
There are all kinds of outliers for anything, from child killing to incest, even consumption of shit as part of some rituals. But just because there are outliers doesn't mean that the ways that the huge majority over time and space followed are not natural way of things.
The way of life of this people or that tribe, doesn't nullify the ways of billions upon billions for millenia. It just shows that it's not something like an invilatable physical law - but nobody thought it as such.
Same ways that societies that parents casually would kill their children (like e.g. happens with unwanted daughrers in India) doesn't mean there's not a natural and societal imperative to care for them. Just that social custom, special interests, etc, can go beyond that.
And it's not like they were "coerced" - civilizations and peoples came to the same answers and culture types time and again independently, even to the point of not having geographical connectivity with one another.

Well, bi, gay/lesbian, and trans people have existed since the dawn of time (and tons of historical figures have been). It's not like societies didn't know they exist (or had roles for them, as in ancient Greece and Rome).
The norms for societies however were categorized by how the majority is (which is why they were called "norms"), and optimized for what helps reproduce societies and peoples.
Why would societies organize social life based on some minority concerns (as opposed to just respect and give rights to those minorities)?
Gender has an enormous impact on the human body so the idea that the brain (the most important organ of all) is 100% neutral and unaffected by gender is simply ridiculous.
To try to argue this is pure ideology. Anyone with a bit of commonsense and life experience would agree.
For anyone interested Harald Eia (Norwegian comedian) has done some interesting videos on the topic.
Apparently these videos were significant enough to influence govt policy in Norway
Everything is a social construct, right... Really heady, intelligent stuff. Extremely interesting. Mindblowing.
"Not all societies abide the gender binary."
There are also a lot of societies where women are considered inferior and don't have any rights.
Must such distinctions be legally regulated?
