I don't think anyone is denying physical differences between people with XX and XY chromosomes.
What the debate is usually about is inequalities in social power relations and whether these can be attributed to what you call 'social conditioning' or biology.
Why is this even a question? We already know:
- Powerful men tend to be taller than other men
- Women tend to be shorter than men
There's an understood physical difference that is more than likely playing to unbalance social power relations.
