Saying something is genetically determined is not necessarily the same as saying it's completely genetically determined. And it's not meaningless, because there are things that aren't genetically determined at all, or at least are only genetically determined to such a small amount that they wouldn't be described as being genetically determined.

Nothing is "not genetically determined at all" because part of the causation of every human trait involves you being a human.

But you should be clearer than that about what your theory of causation is.
