Why LGBT+ people say gender roles are a social construct and they aren’t important while at the same time they give so much importance to gender role at the point they want to be perceived as what they biologically aren’t?

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of what gender is and where it comes from.
Gender is an entirely social construct. You are confusing Gender and Sex.
Sex is typically XY or XX chromosomal combinations in humans, but there are far more than just those two combinations in reality. So there are more than two genetically defined sexes.
Gender has nothing to do with genetics and is an entirely cultural social construct. In most cultures it refers to what we call masculine and feminine physical and personality traits. But again, it’s not a cut and dry thing. These traits vary by culture and so do the number of genders. For example, in Samoan culture they have a third gender called Fa’afafine. This is a long established part of their culture and fa’afafine are generally accepted and celebrated.
